by Matthew Cerrone on May 21st, 2008 at 12:16 am

Ryan Church left tonight’s game with a concussion, suffered while trying to break up a game-ending double play.

According to the team, Church will be taken to the hospital.

Willie Randolph, on Church:

“He was pretty dazed when I got out there. He was pretty glazed over…Any time you get a shot to the head like that it’s always concerning, so we really have to watch him.”

…it was pretty ugly…he slid in to second, and escobar basically kicked him right in the face…church was on the ground for a good 10 minutes, before being walked off the field looking rather out of it – to say the least

Church suffered a concussion during spring training, after colliding in the outfield with Marlon Anderson.
