An unidentified UTM baseball player was seriously injured after he was hit with a blunt object as he was leaving a party at the Alpha Tau Omega fraternity house on Hannings Lane early Saturday night.

Martin Police Officer Mark Rushing was dispatched to Volunteer Community Hospital to find the 20-year-old victim, who said he was at a party at the ATO house earlier with some other baseball players.

According to the victim’s report, the baseball players were asked to leave because the party was for ATO members only. The victim told Rushing that he was the last person going out the door when he was hit in the face with a blunt object.

The victim fell to the ground and became “semi-unconscious.”

The victim received three fractures to his sinus cavity, one fracture to his orbit and a laceration on his forehead.

No arrest has been made, and the assault remains under investigation.
