Prayers up for a\u00a0P<\/a>ittsburgh Pirates\u00a0fan.<\/p>\n

At PNC Park on Wednesday night, the Pirates were taking on the\u00a0Chicago Cubs<\/a>.<\/p>\n

While the home team was at bat and scoring runs, footage would surface of a fan in the outfield seemingly jumping over the wall or losing his balance and falling to the field below.<\/p>\n

He appeared to be knocked out cold, and no players realized what had happened, as they were all paying attention to the action.<\/p>\n

The person fell from the right-field bleachers above the Clemente Wall and landed on the warning track. The incident occurred as the Pirates re-took the lead over the Cubs on a ground ball to shortstop.<\/p>\n
