    Eric Hinske had just finished his midgame routine, stretching and swinging off a tee and preparing to possibly pinch-hit much later.

    That's when he walked into the Atlanta dugout and saw a most scary scene in the fifth inning -- Braves rookie Jordan Schafer fouled a ball off his face and went down in the dirt.

    After Schafer wobbled off the field and headed to a hospital for X-rays, Hinske was sent up to finish the at-bat. He struck out, but later hit a tiebreaking home run in the ninth off Francisco Rodriguez that sent the Braves over the New York Mets 6-3 Friday night.
