A female baseball fan hilariously went to extreme lengths to beat her male counterparts to a ball at Citi Field on Monday night.
During the first of the New York Mets’ three-game series against the Cubs, Chicago’s Francisco Lindor hit a foul ball into bleachers that remained mostly empty after an extended rain delay.
However, some fans decided to stay in the wet conditions, and when Lindor thrust the ball into the audience, two male spectators ran through the empty seats to look for it.
But as the pair were scratching their heads over where it ended up, a quick-thinking female fan came running after seeing the ball, before diving through the seats and nearly flipping at a 90-degree angle to retrieve it.
It was an incredible execution from the supporter, who held out her arms in celebration after finding Lindor’s foul ball.

And she’s received praise from fans on social media, with one writing, “What a gamer. Props to her’.
Another commented, “SHE REALLY WANTED to have that ball.”
A third move: “I like the dedication. Ladies take notes’.
While one said ‘Good for her – Was worth staying the long rain delay’.
The Mets withstood the long rain delay to snap a six-game losing streak with an 11-game losing streak by the Cubs on Monday night.
Pete Alonso homered in consecutive at bats while also tying a career high with six RBIs, with Kodai Senga also allowing two runs and seven hits in six innings.
“That’s just a complete team win,” said Alonso.
The Mets (51-61) avoided tying their longest slip this season in their first home outing since trading Justin Verlander, Mark Canha and Tommy Pham at last week’s deadline.
Meanwhile, for the Cubs, losing just their fifth time in 20 games, Cody Bellinger hit two RBI hits as they began to lead the majors in batting average (.296) since the All-Star break.
