An annual softball tournament between rival stations in the Hartford/New Haven market came to an early end Saturday when two staffers collided on the field.

According to a report on Fox61.com, WTNH (ABC) sports director John Pierson collided with Fox61 morning director Kevin Paradise.

There were injuries to both players and we wish them a speedy recovery.
