NESN reporter Natalie Noury got hit in the arm by a foul ball during the Worcester Red Sox-Rochester Red Wings game at Polar Park on Friday night.

The Worcester Red Sox, the Triple-A affiliate for the Boston Red Sox of Major League Baseball, wrap up their 2025 season against the visiting Red Wings (the Washington Nationals’ Triple-A affiliate) this weekend.

The two clubs began their six-game series on Tuesday, splitting the first two contests. Rochester evened up the season-ending series with an 8-7 win at Polar Park on Friday, with the aforementioned Noury on scene.

But Noury got more than she bargained for last night when the popular NESN reporter took a rocket of a foul ball to the left arm. The injury she suffered was, apparently, so gnarly that she decided to pixelate the wound.

Noury added that Worcester Red Sox stars Jhostynxon Garcia (AKA “The Password”) and Jose De Leon destroyed the baseball for her. Noury also showed what’s left of the ball:

In July, FOX Sports North reporter Audra Martin was hit in the stomach by a foul ball during a Minnesota Twins game. Martin showed pictures of the giant bruise on X/Twitter, but thankfully avoided a serious injury.

Luka Doncic ‘destroys’ the Mavs on his return. Gets standing ovation and shows love to Mark Cuban

Luka Doncic hits 45 points in his first game in Dallas since being traded to the Los Angeles.

It’s rare for a home crowd to cheer the visiting team, but Luka Doncic’s return to Dallas was no ordinary night.

Just days before February’s trade deadline, the Mavericks shocked the NBA by sending their 26-year-old superstar to the Lakers—a move that outraged fans and sparked backlash toward GM Nico Harrison.

On Wednesday, Doncic played his first game back in Dallas since the trade. The arena was filled with fans in both his old Mavs and new Lakers jerseys, many chanting “Fire Nico” in protest.

Despite the emotion in the air, Doncic delivered a dominant performance, scoring a game-high 45 points to lead the Lakers to a 112-97 win. It was a powerful return for one of the league’s brightest stars—and a night Dallas won’t soon forget

The Mavericks pay tribute to Luka Dončić

While the Mavericks’ decision to trade Luka Doncic remains heavily criticized, they handled his return to Dallas with undeniable grace. The organization made sure his first game back as a Laker was met with respect and appreciation.

Every seat in the arena was draped with a T-shirt reading “Hvala za vse,” which translates from Slovenian to “thank you for everything.” It was a thoughtful nod to Doncic’s heritage and impact on the franchise.

Before tip-off, during the starting lineup announcements, the Mavericks played a tribute video showcasing some of Doncic’s most iconic moments in a Dallas jersey. The emotional gesture clearly resonated—moving Doncic to tears in front of the crowd that once called him their own.

Luka Doncic ‘DESTROYS’ his old team

Luka delivered a dazzling performance against his former team, putting up 45 points on 16-of-28 shooting, including 7-of-10 from beyond the arc. He also added 8 rebounds, 6 assists, and 4 steals in a game that showed exactly why he’s one of the best in the league.

From the opening tip, Doncic was locked in. By halftime, Doncic had racked up 31 points on 11-of-16 shooting in just 19 minutes—marking the 10th time in his career he’s scored 30 or more in a single half.

Though his scoring slowed in the second half, he continued to lead effectively, securing both a Lakers win and an unforgettable showing for the fans in Dallas.
