More than two months after 12-year-old Xavier Taylor was critically injured during baseball warmups in Maple Shade, his family and supporters continue to stand beside him. The young player was struck in the neck by a ball on May 26 and was taken by helicopter to Cooper University Hospital.
Earlier reports documented the family’s deep faith and the community’s continuing prayers for Xavier. Hundreds gathered at a prayer vigil, while baseball teams and supporters across the region honored him with his No. 6 jersey, blue ribbons, bats and messages of encouragement. 💙⚾🙏
