Pitcher getting hurt in RS game?

[OG_MethTweaker_PSN]

Literally never seen this before, but I hit a screamer back at the pitcher and hit him in the head in one of my recent RS games. A prompt then came up that the opponents pitcher was hurt and had to be removed from the game. Naturally after this the game froze and I naturally took the L.
Curious if anyone else has ever had this happen or if this was just a glitch and that's why the game froze up on me?
