NEW YORK — Gabby DiMarco toasted herself — after she caught a foul ball in her beer cup.

During the top of the fifth inning of the game between the Atlanta Braves and San Diego Padres on Tuesday night, Atlanta’s Ender Inciarte hit a high-flying foul ball into the second deck behind home plate at Petco Park. Somehow, someway, the ball fell right into DiMarco’s full cup of beer — with little splash. To complete the play, DiMarco stood up and chugged the entire drink . Applause erupted around her, and the video soon went crazy online.

“It bounced from behind me. I was trying to catch it all, and it landed in my cup,” DiMarco told MLB.com.
