Dr. Jennifer LaFemina helped give CPR to umpire Korey Pontbriand.

Korey Pontbriand, a longtime Little League umpire in Worcester, Massachusetts, said if Dr. Jennifer LaFemina, a surgical oncologist at UMass Memorial Health, had not been attending the game he was officiating on July 11, he would not be alive today.

LaFemina, who happened to be attending the game with her medical assistant, came down from the stands to evaluate Pontbriand after he was hit.
