The woman who’s accused Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Trevor Bauer of assaulting her during two sexual encounters testified Monday during a hearing as she seeks a five-year restraining order.

She testified about him choking her, crying as she said, “I couldn’t breathe. . . . Then I went unconscious."

But Bauer’s attorney read from Instagram messages the woman sent to Bauer to argue she’d given every indication she wanted to be choked and consented to rough sex.

The woman said she didn’t consent to how violent things got the second time, when Bauer punched her in the face and genitals several times.

She said, “I’ve never been punched in the face ever. I felt like my soul left my body, and I was terrified.”

Bauer is currently on leave as Major League Baseball and police investigate the allegations, which he has denied.

 

Parents Of Girls Hit By Foul Reach Agreement With Astros

The attorney for the parents of a two-year-old girl who was hit by a foul ball during a 2019 Houston Astros game at Minute Maid Park said Monday they’ve reached a settlement with the Astros. The terms are confidential.

The girl, who’s now four, suffered a skull fracture and brain injury and has been on anti-seizure medication. The incident was among those that led all Major League Baseball teams to extend netting farther down the foul lines.
