Police say Cal Ripken Jr.'s mother is safe after an armed man abducted her from her home northeast of Baltimore.

Aberdeen police say 74-year-old Vi Ripken was kidnapped between 7 a.m. and 8 a.m. Tuesday by a man who forced her into her car.

She was found about 6:15 a.m. Wednesday unharmed in her car near her home in Aberdeen. Police say she was not injured.
