A judge said he will overrule a jury’s recommendation to award $180,000 to a woman hit by a baseball in the Astrodome when she was 11 years old.

Karen Friedman was at the Houston Astros’ game against the Pittsburgh Pirates on June 14, 1978, when she was struck by a line drive off the bat of Enos Cabell, who was playing for the Astros. She suffered a broken facial bone and an eye injury.

Jurors last month found the Houston Sports Assn, which owns the Astros, was negligent in not warning Friedman of the danger of foul balls.
