Sharp pain under knee cap.

Sharp pain under knee cap.

Three days ago I got hit with a baseball in the knee. Before I could get out of the way the ball struck me right below the knee cap.  I walked the pain off and thought it would get better. Now there is a very sharp pain directly below the knee cap whenever I bend my knee.  It is very tender, and has a tendency to give out when i walk up or down stairs.  Any ideas on what it could be? ACL? Miniscus?
