A 12-year-old playing in the Little League World Series was placed in a medically induced coma over the weekend.

Easton Oliverson, who pitches for the Snow Canyon Little League team representing the Mountain region, fell out of his bunk bed at the Williamsport dormitory complex housing the players and fractured his skull Sunday (August 14) night, his uncle, Spencer Beck, told TMZ Sports.

Beck said Oliverson was sleeping on the top bunk before falling out of bed and hitting his head, which led to the child being rushed to the hospital and undergoing emergency surgery.

Beck said his family is still optimistic that the child will make a recovery.
