Brandon Patch gets justice six years after his shocking death. The then 18-year-old boy was killed in an accident at the American Legion game in Helena in 2003. A baseball bat hit with aluminum Louisville Slugger baseball bat struck Patch in the head.

Soon after the death of their dear son, Brandon Patch's parents filed a case against Louisville Slugger baseball bats manufacturer, Hillerich & Bradsby. They accused that the manufacturers did not provide proper warning about the dangers of using aluminum bats.

Now, a Montana jury on Wednesday awarded the parents 0,000 as compensation. However the jury did not find the bat itself to be defective. The special verdict says the failure to warn was the cause of the accident.
