(AP) - A pediatric nurse says she was in the right place at the right time to apply CPR to a 14-year-old girl who collapsed while dancing in the upper deck during a Kansas City Royals game. Twenty-6-year-old Sam Sapenaro was working her second job as a member of Kaufman Stadium's K-Crew on Thursday night when someone yelled that a girl had collapsed.
