It was a scary moment on the high school baseball field last weekend when a Gregory-Portland outfielder collided with a teammate and became unconscious.
Multiple people quickly responded on the field. CPR was performed and an AED was used to help save Quinn Supnet’s life.
It happened last Saturday during a game against Calallen. Both players were going for a shallow fly ball and that was the last thing Supnet remembered. He recalled the scary moments that followed.
“His knee, at the exact right moment, struck my chest where my heart was vulnerable, and so that put me into a state of cardiac arrest and really it’s just a blur from there,” said Quinn Supnet, a right fielder for the Wildcats.
Supnet said he thought the wind was knocked out of him. He tried to get up but fell and lost consciousness.
His dad Benjamin, a doctor, was concerned when he did not get up. He initially thought it was a head injury until he saw what really happened.
“He wasn’t reacting like a head injury, he was basically lifeless. He wasn’t breathing and had no pulse, so I knew that it was much more serious,” Benjamin Supnet said.
