NEWTON (CBS) – Russ Stephens is counting his blessings after his son, Eric Stephens, was brought back to life after collapsing during a Boston Men’s Baseball League game in Newton on Thursday night. “They brought him back. The doctor in the emergency room said ‘you had died earlier tonight and you were revived,’” Russ Stephens said.
Fortunately, Eric was surrounded by some amazing people and teammates on both sides who rushed to his aid like Brendan Pounds. “I never seen anything happen like this in my life,” said Pounds. “All of a sudden he stopped breathing we checked his pulse and nobody could feel it.”
