If I remember correctly it was a spike. I was there at the field when it happened but it was all the way on the other side of the field from where everyone was sitting and watching so I am not sure exactly what happened with the slide/crash that caused the break.
Everyone was on the ball. Any players, parents and field staff that had medical training immediatly came onto the field once 911 was called out from the players and staff on the field. Rory was a real trooper and did exactly what was asked of him by the guys on scene. I know that he had to be in alot of pain but he made sure to stay as still as possible to minimize causing anymore damage. The field owner made sure to clear a path for the responding medical teams to get in right to the field but cutting open the netting to make access more easy to the field.
We players that were there responded the best that we could to help. Pat, mrmag11 at SCP, uprooted his collapsable canopy and got it out on the field to cover Rory since he was laying out directly in the sun and it was quite warm in Lakeland today.
Overall just a horrible thing to have happen but it was a great showing of everyone there to respond as quickly as they did.
Our prayers are with Rory.
Here is the link to SCP where Pat is keeping us posted to the ongoing conditions of Rory.
