Ohio top court refuses to hear foul-ball lawsuit
TweetYOUNGSTOWN — A lawsuit over a foul ball has struck out at the Ohio Supreme Court.
The state’s top court today declined to review the dismissal of a lawsuit against the Mahoning Valley Scrappers, which was filed by a woman who claimed the Scrappers negligently allowed a foul ball to hit her on the head and injure her.
In refusing to consider Jane Warga’s lawsuit, the high court left intact a 7th District Court of Appeals decision that upheld the dismissal of the case by Judge Timothy E. Franken of Mahoning County Common Pleas Court.
Judge Franken dismissed the suit without a trial last year, saying that, as a spectator, Warga “assumed the risks inherent in attending a baseball game.”
