High School Baseball Player Dies After Being Struck by Line Drive During Practice 
A 15-year-old Illinois high school sophomore has died after being struck in the head by a baseball during practice last week.
Bentley Wolfe, a sophomore at Chrisman High School, was hit by a line drive while practicing with his team on Monday, March 2.
According to Peoria County Coroner Jamie Harwood, he was initially treated locally before being transported the following day to OSF HealthCare St. Francis Medical Center in Peoria in critical condition.
Despite aggressive medical efforts, he was declared brain dead on Friday, March 6.
An autopsy later determined that he died from blunt force trauma to the head.
His honor walk took place yesterday morning. A facebook post made by his mother states he “successfully created his last mission here on earth by donating his heart, lungs, liver, kidneys, and pancreas.”
The tragic incident has deeply affected the small community as students, teammates, and residents mourn his loss.
Please keep his family in your prayers, as well as the teammate who hit the ball. I cant imagine how he must feel.
