Fan falls from 21-foot Clemente Wall at PNC Park in Pittsburgh during Cubs-Pirates game

PITTSBURGH (AP) — A fan fell from the 21-foot Clemente Wall in right field at PNC Park during Wednesday night’s game between the Pittsburgh Pirates and Chicago Cubs.

Right after Andrew McCutchen hit a two-run double in the seventh inning to put the Pirates ahead 4-3, players began waving frantically for medical personnel. The fan was tended to for approximately five minutes, then was removed from the field on a cart.

Players from both teams could be seen praying and McCutchen held a cross that hung from his neck while the fan was taken off the field.

The Pirates released the following statement regarding the incident:

Pittsburgh EMS, as well as the Pirates and Cubs athletic training teams and other PNC Park personnel reacted and responded immediately and administered care. He was transported to Allegheny General Hospital. No further information is available at this time. Our thoughts and prayers are with him and his family.”
