The training staff carried Bormet off the field on a stretcher and he was transported to a Columbia hospital. He gave the crowd a thumbs-up as he left the field.
The Columbia Missourian reported Bormet suffered multiple broken bones in his face, including the orbital bone, and cut his knee.
According to Missouri baseball’s official Twitter account, Bormet stayed in the hospital overnight for some tests but is responsive. Bormet has full movement and is expected to be OK.
