A child from Wichita area League 42 little league baseball is in the hospital after falling during practice on Tuesday night. A volunteer coach's quick response is credited with helping save the child's life.
Karina Lopez's son Guillermo was born with a genetic heart defect and had a pacemaker installed when he was younger. Lopez said she never thought her son's life would be in jeopardy while playing baseball.
His coach, Juan Valarde, said he's never been in a situation like Tuesday night's practice. He said he was running on adrenaline while on the phone with 911, starting CPR.
Guillermo is recovering at Children's Mercy Hospital in Kansas City.
League 42 officials say they are looking into CPR certification for every coach.
