A South Jersey woman injured after being struck in the face by a foul ball at a Major League Baseball game two years ago has filed suit against the home team, according to a report.

Dana Morelli, 47, of Glendora, Camden County alleges she suffered an orbital fracture to her left eye socket, nerve and iris damage, and a concussion during batting practice at Miller Park in Milwaukee, according to JSOnline.com.

Morelli's suit says the Brewers violated Wisconsin's "safe-place" statute and didn't do everything "reasonably necessary to protect the life, health, safety, and welfare" of its visitors.

Morelli was seated in a second-row seat behind third base on Aug. 6, 2014 with her fiancee and his son when she was hit.

She had to remain in a dark room in Milwaukee for several days before she could safely travel home, according to the lawsuit.

A federal lawsuit filed in San Francisco last year is trying to force Major League Baseball to install netting from foul pole to foul pole. Safety netting at Miller Park was extended to the inside edge of the dugouts before the 2016 season, according to the Journal-Sentinel.
