 | Wednesday, September 9th, 2009: Wisconsin Worried Bens Won't Play Again The Wisconsin Timber Rattlers clubhouse was subdued last night after Jeremy Bens was seriously injured during the game. Bens was taken to a local hospital for examination. This morning, doctors confirmed the preliminary diagnosis of a ruptured ulnar collateral ligament. They said Bens will undergo surgery in the near future. This type of injury, they said, will require extensive rehabilitation. For all intents and purposes, his career in baseball is over. It remains to be seen how Bens's loss will affect the rest of the team. The Timber Rattlers owner, when reached for comment, said he planned to visit Bens later today. "It is a sad day for us," he said, "We have lost a class individual. I hope that we can keep him in our organization as a coach or manager as soon as he recovers. Jeremy still has a lot to contribute to our baseball team." In 20 starts this year Bens has fashioned a 8-6 record and a 3.63 ERA. |
