Delaware County Teen Credited With Saving Umpire's Life Receives Award

FOLCROFT, Pa., (CBS) – Lawmakers in Delaware County honor a young baseball player credited with saving an umpire's life.

Folcroft Borough presented 16-year-old Michael Brodzinski with its "Heroship Award" Thursday night.

Last Monday the umpire collapsed after Brodzinski hit a double during a community baseball game.

Brodzinski rushed to his side.

"I think a lot of people should know CPR. They should really practice it and everyone should learn it," said Brodzinski.

Brodzinski is a youth firefighter who is certified in CPR with the Darby Borough and Sharon Hill fire companies.

"I want to make a career out of it either in Philadelphia or a big city," he said.

The umpire is recovering.
