CHICAGO - Hospital officials in Chicago say a 7-year-old boy whose skull was fractured by a foul ball at Wrigley Field is recovering well and expected to go home.

Dominic DiAngi of Frankfort is scheduled to be released from Children's Memorial Hospital later in the day.

Last Thursday, he was sitting behind the Cubs' dugout during an afternoon game when a foul ball off Ted Lilly's bat struck him in the head. Paramedics took him to Children's Memorial where he was in intensive care.

The game was the first major league game the boy had ever attended.

Lilly and Cubs first baseman Derrek Lee visited the boy Saturday at the hospital.
