At least one fan was enjoying a home loss at Dodger Stadium on Wednesday.
During the eighth inning of the Los Angeles Dodgers’ 6-1 loss to the New York Mets, a fan delivered a classic “idiot on the field” performance until it at went wrong, as these things often do. The fan, who appeared to be shirtless, displayed some impressive speed on the tape, outrunning multiple security guards along the warning track.

Unfortunately, the fan’s pants couldn’t keep up with him, and the resulting slowdown gave a guard the opportunity to catch up and shove him, sending to the ground. Soon, it was a five-man dogpile.
The fan was eventually hauled off the field through the center field gate, with a jail cell likely awaiting him.
The situation played out to the amusement of the Mets dugout, with first baseman Pete Alonso among those laughing as the fan evaded the guards. The SNY broadcast booth had its own take, wondering what on earth goes through a person’s mind as this happens.
“You know, the first few moments must be exhilarating, but there’s no endgame! It’s going to be painful and expensive in the end,” play-by-play man Gary Cohen said.
The fan ran onto the field not long after Alonso clubbed a three-run homer to put the Mets up by six, his second long ball of the game. It was a long night for the Dodgers offense as well, with an 0-for-4 performance with runners in scoring position and only one extra-base hit until the bottom of the ninth inning, when Andy Pages got them on the board with a solo homer.

Mets starting pitcher Griffin Canning, an Orange County native and former UCLA pitcher, threw six scoreless innings with seven strikeouts, continuing a stellar run by the Mets rotation in the first couple months of the season.
The Mets improved their record to 39-23, keeping them 1.5 games ahead of the Philadelphia Phillies in the NL East. The Dodgers remain a game ahead of the San Diego Padres in the NL West at 37-25.

2025 Women’s College World Series: Texas routs Texas Tech to win program’s first national title
After two runner-up finishes the previous three years, the third time was the charm for the Texas Longhorns, who captured the program's first national title after posting a 10-4 victory over Texas Tech in Game 3 of the 2025 Women's College World Series. After two games that were each decided by one run, this game was really never in doubt.

The Longhorns' outburst led to NiJaree Canady -- Texas Tech's star pitcher who had never allowed five runs in an inning prior to Friday night -- being taken out of the game, thus ending her streak of 686 consecutive pitches dating back to super regionals. With Chloe Riassetto pitching for Texas Tech, the Longhorns tacked onto […]
