NextImg:Fan’s wild dive for foul ball a lone highlight for dreadful Athletics

Sometimes the best moments of a game do not happen on the field. 

That is precisely what occurred in the Athletics’ game Wednesday night. 

In the bottom of the sixth inning, a foul ball was hit just above the safety netting at Sutter Health Park in Sacramento, on the path to land right on top of one of the dugouts. 

That is when it was one fan’s time to shine.

One fan at Wednesday’s A’s-Twins game went all-out for a foul ball.

Without hesitation, she dove on top of the dugout, trying to secure the souvenir.

While she initially could not come up with it, the woman still got the ball in the end.

NBC Sports California announcer Chris Caray had a hunch that this wasn’t the first time she dove like that.

“She has to be a former volleyball player,” Caray said. “[The dive], it’s like a pancake when you are trying to dig out the ball.”

The woman might have been the only Athletics fan going home happy, as they lost to the Twins, 6-1, and watched their losing streak extend to nine games.

During the skid, the Athletics have let up double-digit runs five times.

Not only did this fan come away with the foul, but she got the picture to prove it.

This poor run of form is nothing new.

The A’s only won a total of seven games in May and sit at the bottom of the AL West with just 23 wins.

Maybe this heroic dive by the fan can spark the Athletics to break their winless skid.
