Pennsylvania high school baseball player hit a double then saved umpire's life with CPR
After reaching second base on a double during a baseball game on Monday, a 17-year-old high school player sprung into action to help save a man's life -- the home plate umpire.
Mike Brodzinski is a student at Academy Park High School in Sharon Hill, Pennsylvania and a volunteer firefighter for the Folcroft Borough Darby Fire Company.
The company shared the story of the teen's heroics on its Facebook page, explaining that after he reached second base, Brodzinski noticed the umpire had collapsed and so he immediately rushed over and began performing CPR. Brodzinski continued until an ambulance and medical personnel arrived at the scene.
"Due to Mike's heroic actions the patient is currently in the hospital with an unknown condition," the fire company wrote. "A job well done, Mike!"
