toward maybe st. louis. the southern part of chicago, getting into cincinnati as well. these storms do have a tremendous amount of rain with them as well. flash flood watches in kansas city. boy, you're going to get it again today. as thunderstorms roll in through that state. speaking of rain, we're watching hurricane blanca, which has reintensified to a category 3 storm this morning. winds up to 120 miles an hour. this and what's left of andres has been impacting the desert southwest. we'll talk more about that later in the program. back to you guys. >> all right, rob. it was a horrifying scene at the baseball game at fenway park last night. a woman was struck by a large piece of a baseball bat and seriously injured. abc's phillip mena joining us in studio with more. good morning, phillip. scary scene. >> absolutely. good morning, paula. brett lawrie, the player whose bat went flying into the stands telling reporters after the game he hopes that woman will be okay. this morning, boston police are calling her condition life-threatening. >> as this is a broken bat grounder. bat goes flying into the seats. >> reporter: this morning, a fan

directly behind home plate. but that woman was sitting in the second row, just outside of the protected area. >> i know major league baseball did a lot to prevent the splintering of bats back in 2008. still, frightening. if you go to the game, you have to -- heads-up. >> reporter: you're sitting that close, you never know what can happen. >> great to have you in studio. thank you. >> horrific scene. we're thinking about that family this morning. we're going to move on to the reaction pouring in over night to an abc news exclusive. the woman who accuses the former speaker of the u.s. house of representatives dennis hastert, of sexually abusing her now deceased brother when he was a student at the school where hastert once worked. this is a fast-moving and spreading story. abc's chief investigative reporter brian ross is here with more. brian, good morning. >> reporter: good morning, dan. there's been no comment, however, by dennis hastert on the new allegations. he'll have to make a public appearance by at least next

tuesday when he's due in court to be arraigned on the federal charges against him. this morning, the former speaker of the house remains among the missing. not seen at his home in illinois or his farm in wisconsin. or at his washington, d.c., apartment, since the federal grand jury indicted him ten days ago. and shocked the political world. >> had no inkling whatsoever. i was as shocked and dismayed by the reports i read as anyone else. >> reporter: the indictment describes an individual "a" who received money from hastert to cover up past misconduct described by federal authorities as sexual misconduct. and now there is a second alleged victim. a student equipment manager on the high school wrestling team coached by hastert. a young man named steve reinboldt, who hastert described in a 1970 yearbook description as his great right-hand man. >> mr. hastert has plenty of opportunities to be alone with

steve. >> reporter: reinboldt's sister, jolene has opportunities to be abused by hastert. he revealing inged the information to her. >> i asked him, stevie, when was your first same-sex experience. he looked at me and said, it was with dennis hastert. and i just -- i know i was stunned. >> reporter: no doubt he was telling you that hastert had abused him sexually. >> oh, yeah. >> so ordered. >> reporter: as hastert rose to power, reinboldt's sister said she kept hoping that what she calls the dark secret would come out. but it did not. >> i figured he was going to get away with it. >> reporter: she says she decided to finally go public in hopes that individual "a" and other possible victims would know they're not alone. >> i feel vindicated and like stevie's vindicated. that you know, he can't -- mr. hastert can't pull this -- the wool over everybody's eyes. finally the truth is coming out. >> reporter: reinboldt's sister, jolene said neither she nor her brother ever asked hastert or

received -- asked hastert for money or received any. unlike individual "a." the identity of individual "a" remains a mystery. it will certainly come out should the case go to trial. >> we'll know eventually. let me ask you about miss reinboldt. has she been receiving any reaction since she went public with you? >> reporter: she says she's been overwhelmed by a positive response from friends in yorkville. she lives in montana now. she's heard from lots of people saying it was about time this came out. >> as we said, this is a fast-moving and spreading scandal. we know you'll stay on top of it. >> absolutely. >> brian, thanks again. paula, over to you. we want to move now to horse racing history. the weeks of hype are over. and we'll know later today if the sport has its first triple crown winner since the late 1970s. american pharoah, the beloved and powerful colt, needing to win the most demanding of the three races, the belmont stakes. can the champion run into the recordbooks? we check back in with ron.

who is at the track in elmont, new york. hi, ron. >> reporter: they call the belmont the test of champions. a mile and a half. and think about it. three grueling races for 3-year-old thoroughbreds over a period of just five weeks. can american pharoah join the pantheon of great racehorses like citation, secretariat, seattle slew, or affirmed in 1978? we'll find out later today. this morning, american pharoah, one step, or rather a mile and a half, away from horse racing history. as a winner of the triple crown. a feat that has not been accomplished in 37 years. >> i'm pretty confident because the horse is telling me that. he put on that show. they're not going to beat him. >> reporter: even with a misspelled name and a shortened tail, american pharoah is not lacking in pedigree. his grandfather, empiremaker, winning the belmont. in 2013. his father finishing second in 2009 at the kentucky derby.

>> espinoza has won the kentucky derby! >> reporter: after his thrilling victory at churchill downs, american pharoah sloshing his way into the fans' hearts as he tore through the mud at the preakness in may. >> american pharoah is the leader. >> reporter: an encouraging sign for the owners as they prepare to watch him take on the track known as big sandy. the extra half mile thwarting other horses' attempts. the last to do it, affirmed. in 1978. >> affirmed comes to the wire. >> reporter: american pharoah jockey victor espinosa is all too familiar with the stage. this is his third shot at the crown. >> third time i've been here. every time i come here, i think i can do it. >> reporter: even in pharoah doesn't win the belmont, his owners have already inked one of the sport's largest sponsorship deals with monster energy inc. american pharoah's net worth is between $15 million and $20 million. a huge payday for its owners.

what reward is coming up for the potential triple crown winner? >> afterwards, he gets a lot of carrots. >> reporter: the rain has stopped. it still should be a soft track. that, as we said earlier, favors american pharoah. we'll find out in half a day whether he's among one of the great horses. i just want to remind you, dan and paula. 37 years ago, i was here. this is my souvenir. a $2 win ticket on affirmed. the last one to win the triple crown. i'm going to get a $2 win ticket on american pharoah and maybe hang on to that for the next 37 years. >> yes, exactly. >> how much did you win on that ticket? >> reporter: it paid about 9 to 5, so about $3.80. plus the $2 back. more worthwhile as a souvenir. >> exactly, he still has it, too. >> with compounded interest, over 37 years, because i know you're a big saver, i'm sure you're a wealthy man. ron, thank you. we'll get back to you later in the show. we want to say that ron mentioned that the horse has a shortened tail. it was bitten by another horse, a jealous horse awhile back. i spoke to the owner the other day. he said he resisted suggestions

to give the horse some sort of hair weave. >> what? >> they wanted to put -- >> extensions. >> extensions. like somebody who doesn't have hair, bald, putting a, what do they call it, a toupe. but if you're bald, you're bald. so i mean, it's a characteristic of you. >> you're making me feel better about losing my hair. >> oh, look at me. >> dan, you're not losing your hair, by the way. >> that means that the hairpiece is working. thank you. i appreciate that. >> you're fully coifed. >> if you need hair extensions, let me know. >> or a weave. >> you have a nice head of hair, too. ryan, it's great to have you in studio. ron is at the belmont stakes. so it's great to have you in studio. >> great to be here as well. thank you, guys. good morning. good morning to you. we begin with yet another amtrak train collision. the train carrying more than 200 passengers and traveling from san antonio to chicago. colliding with a semi truck in wilmington, illinois. that 18-wheeler hauling 70,000

skies. chaz and dina were on their way to seattle to elope. when their staff on the jetblue flight thought, why not? why wait? with guests in their seats, and the flight attendant doubling as a flower girl and with tissues, they just winged it, guys. they winged it. the bride's veil and bouquets and groom's bow were made of airplane supplies. the couple pinned wings on each other instead of rings. and the nuptials wouldn't be complete without a saxophone serenade by a passenger on board. >> is this for real? a little too convenient. a saxophone? >> they did get hitched for real. by the way. beautiful pictures. this is a true wedding in the skies. >> as long as the honeymoon wasn't up in the air. on the ground. >> and carrying a saxophone on the plane. how do you like that? and later, we'll tell you about the honeymoon. in the skies. >> did you really go -- >> a mile-high honeymoon. >> i didn't go there. >> okay. just for fcc reasons, we'll be moving along now. they did waive the luggage fees

what do a nascar® driver... a comedian... and a professional golfer have in common? we talked to our doctors about treatment with xarelto®. xarelto® is proven to treat and help reduce the risk of dvt and pe blood clots. xarelto® has also been proven to reduce the risk of stroke in people with afib, not caused by a heart valve problem. for people with afib currently well managed on warfarin, there is limited information on how xarelto® and warfarin compare in reducing the risk of stroke. i tried warfarin before, but the blood testing routine and dietary restrictions had me off my game. not this time. not with xarelto®. i'll have another arnold palmer. make mine a kevin nealon. really, brian? hey, safety first. like all blood thinners, don't stop taking xarelto® without talking to your doctor

as this may increase your risk of a blood clot or stroke. while taking, you may bruise more ea sily and it may take longer for bleeding to stop. xarelto® may increase your risk of bleeding if you take certain medicines. xarelto® can cause serious, and in rare cases, fatal bleeding. get help right away for unexpected bleedin g, unusual bruising or tingling. if you have had spinal anesthesia while on xarelto® watch for back pain or any nerve or muscle related signs or symptoms. do not tak e xarelto® if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. tell your doctor before all planned medical or dental procedures. before starting xarelto® tell your doctor about any kidney liver, or bleeding problems. xarelto® has been prescribed more than 11 million times in the u.s. and that number's growing. like your guys' scores. with xarelto® there is no regular blood monitoring and no known dietary restrictions. treatment with xarelto® was the right move for us. ask your doctor about xarelto®.
