BATH, Mich. - A teenage baseball player has died nearly two weeks after he was knocked unconscious during a collision at second base.
The Lansing State Journal says Cooper Gardner, a junior at Bath High School, died Sunday at home.
The school says on Facebook that Cooper suffered a brain injury on April 21 during a game between Bath and Portland St. Patrick.
Coach Michael Collins says Cooper was trying to catch the ball and tag a runner at second base when he was struck in the head in a collision.
A GoFundMe page described it as a "freak accident."
Cooper's teammates, family and friends gathered Monday at the baseball field, about 15 miles northeast of Lansing.
