He had just hit a double, but saw the umpire collapse.

That's when Academy Park High School student Michael Brodzinski sprung into action during a game Monday evening in Folcroft Borough.

"Right before the next pitch, I saw the umpire fall over so I ran over," Brodzinski, 16, a junior firefighter, told Patch. A crowd gathered around the umpire, and many thought he was just overheated. People started pouring water on him, Brodzinski recalled.

But Brodzinski, looking at the umpire's blue face, knew he wasn't just overheated.

"His face was blue. He had no pulse. I'm like, 'we gotta start CPR', so I hopped in," Brodzinski said.

The crowd separated and Brodzinski put to use the skills he learned as a junior firefighter with the Darby Fire Company #1, performing 10 minutes of CPR on the umpire until the paramedics arrived.

The umpire is expected to survive, the Courier Express reported.

A post on the Darby Fire Company's Facebook page praising Brodzinski got more than 2,900 likes hours later.

"Due to Mike's heroic actions, the patient is currently in the hospital with an unknown condition. A job well done Mike!," the post said.

But Brodzinski said he doesn't feel like a hero. While it was his first time performing CPR in an emergency situation, "it just feels like it's my job."
