Waverly Police say that an ambulance was called around 10:30 p.m. on Wednesday night to transport the baby.

The Family says that baby McKenna was hit in the head by a stray softball. Her mother, Kassy Hovenga says it was a ‘freak accident’.

Hovenga says that her daughter has a fractured skull and two blood clots in her brain that are causing her to have seizures.

As of this morning, her seizures have reduced.
