4219 The risk of a batter's being struck by an intentionally thrown bean-ball pitch is inherent in the sport of baseball, so primary assumption of the risk prevents imposition of liability on the pitcher who threw it or those responsible for supervising the event; school sports and intercollegiate games are not recreational activities for purposes of Government Code section 831.7, which confers immunity on public entities for injuries occurring during the course of hazardous recreational activities.
