Think about the following case - "An adult player in a recreational softball game strikes out. He becomes angry and throws his bat at the catcher, hitting the catcher and fracturing his nose."

1.Do you feel that a prosecutor would believe that this is criminal behavior and file charges against the batter?Why or why not?

2.Regardless of the criminal aspect,what civil cause of action would the catcher have against the batter?Explain the elements of the cause of action.

3. What could be the preventive measures (against participant violence) that you can suggest to theowner/manager of the softball park or the softball league?
