The Texarkana Police Department said it received numerous calls about gunshots near the ballpark and said the athlete was not directly assaulted.
“The incident began with an altercation that resulted in two men exchanging fires outside a home, the Texarkana PD wrote in a message on Facebook. One of the stray balls flew about 400 meters and hit the victim on the baseball field.”
One of the two shooters turned himself in to authorities while the second is the subject of an arrest warrant.
