Chancellor All-City junior outfielder Bobby Coyle is recuperating at
Hoag Hospital in Newport Beach after suffering severe injuries
Sunday in an All-Star game.
Coyle was playing center field on the South team against the North team
in the final game of the three-game series at UC Irvine when he
collided with the right fielder while chasing a flyball. He suffered a skull
fracture, a broken orbital bone in his left eye, a broken nose and a
concussion.
The left-hander will remain in the hospital for a couple more days and is not expected to return to the field for several weeks.
