According to the suit, “The ball passed through an existing, sizable hole in the nylon mesh netting that separated the two batting cages, thereby constituting a dangerous and/or hazardous condition.”
The complaint states that at the time of the incident the Board of Education was “responsible for the adequate, proper and safe maintenance of the baseball batting cages located adjacent to the baseball field at Darien High School,” adding at least one member of the Darien Board of Education was made aware of the torn mesh before Gesualdi’s accident.
Gesualdi is asking in excess of $15,000 for injuries to his face and eye.
