Support was shown for Utah's Easton Oliverson who suffered a fractured skull when he fell from an upper bunk while sleeping,
Easton Oliverson was watching with his mother in a hospital room in the Janet Weiss Children’s Hospital when his Snow Canyon team from Santa Clara, Utah, played Nolensville, Tenn., but he still got a standing ovation.
Easton has been hospitalized since early Monday when he fell out of his upper bunk in International Grove, where the world series teams stay. Easton’s father, Jace, one of the Utah coaches, was with the team while his wife, Nancy, stayed with their son. Easton cried when he learned his brother was taking his place, his uncle said. He explained they were tears of joy for his brother and sadness for himself since he would not be able to play.
Easton did not fall off the bunk as the result of horse play, the manager said. He went to sleep with an arm hanging off the bed and a teammate found him on the floor shortly before 2 a.m., he said.
