Video -- Umpire Jim Joyce Saved a D-Backs Employee with CPR

MLB umpire Jim Joyce performed CPR on Arizona Diamondbacks' food service employee Jayne Powers prior to the D-backs-Marlins game on Monday night. "[The doctors] are pretty confident that they got her to the hospital in a shape where they could treat her and get her well again," said Russ Amaral, a D-backs vice president in charge of facilities and event services.

Joyce was walking towards the umpire dressing room when he saw Powers begin to shake before falling to the ground.

"I knew something was wrong," Joyce said. "And I knew if something wasn't done, this lady could actually die in front of me. It was more instinct than anything else."



D-backs executive Roland Hemond called Joyce over to the screen behind home plate during the game to let him know that Powers had regained consciousness and looked like she was going to be OK.
