Video: Cubs player gets emotional after his foul ball hits a little girl

It was something no one wanted to see during the fourth inning of a baseball game.

Facing the Houston Astros, Chicago Cubs outfielder Albert Almora Jr. was at the plate with a 2-2 count when he hit a line-drive foul ball into the third-base stands.

The ball hit a little girl in the face, injuring her.

Amora, realizing what has happened, throws his hands up and takes a knee.

His fellow players try to console him as people crowd around the little girl in the stands.

At one point, Amora even embraces a Houston stadium security guard who tells him the little girl is going to be ok.

You can see video of Amora's line-drive and the aftermath here.
