RACINE, Wis. (AP) -- A partial collapse of the bleachers at a baseball and softball complex in the Racine County town of Yorkville injured seven people.

Assistant Fire Chief Tim Allen of the Union Grove-Yorkville Fire Department says five people were taken to local hospitals for treatment of minor injuries. Two others declined treatment at the scene.

The problem was reported last evening just after 7 p.m. at Stix Sports and Recreation during a tournament for 11- and 12-year-olds for Metro Milwaukee Sports youth baseball.

The top row of the five-row bleachers had a back rail that was affected.

Twelve-year-old Eric Wade, who plays second base for the Boys of Summer Select from Mequon, says he heard a bang and the back of the bench and the people on it fell backwards.
