Iván Nova dazzled on the mound during the Pirates' 5-1 win over the Marlins on Saturday. Just three hits and a walk over six scoreless innings with a season-high nine strikeouts helped boost the team to victory during rainy conditions. But while he had a stellar afternoon, so did a Pittsburgh ballgirl.
In the top of the eighth inning, Rafael Ortega lined a pitch into foul territory, but it didn't make its destination into the stands at first because this happened:
Oh yes, we see you out there putting in work.
The ballgirl eventually gave the foul to a lucky fan in the stands, but we still got to witness a fantastic display thanks to her. And now, the Pirates know they have someone who can take over in the outfield if needed.
