A toddler is dead after being hit in the chest with a bat.

We're told two-year-old Henry Berlin was at T-ball practice with his family at a church in Louisville on Tuesday night.

A spokesperson with the YMCA says the boy's four-year-old sister was swinging a bat and accidentally hit the little boy when he ran up to her, causing a heart arrhythmia.

People at the scene did CPR, but the boy died at the hospital.

Police say it's a tragic accident, and no charges are expected.
