During the 9:00pm coed game last night for the club, outfielder Bryan Solek and infielders Ryan Phelps-Franco and AJ Haynes suffered injuries serious enough to warrant medical examinations both during and after the game.

In the first inning, on a pop fly ball, Phelps-Franco and Solek collided in the middle of the outfield. Franco was able to walk off the field and was checked out by Albany EMS staff in the dugout and was released to continue on in the game. Solek had to be carted off the field and was sent to Albany Medical Center by ambulance to receive further treatment. The initial diagnosis on the field was a dislocated knee, but team officials are awaiting to hear the results from the hospital.

Later on in the game, in making a catch on a foul ball, Haynes collided with the fence on the third base sideline and the opposing team's bat rack. While he stayed and finished out the game, after the game AJ was taken to the emergency room for evaluation on his ankle, which he injured during the play. Team officials are also awaiting to hear the results from his hospital visit as well.

As soon as the team hears anything on the status of these three players, we will let everyone know.
