The whole incident was captured by a fan who recorded the bizarre encounter on his cell phone and then posted the eventful moment on social media. Watch the video here.

Video taken by Christopher Mendez shows that at some point during the game, a ball invader took the field, causing several security officers to chase after him. The security officers could not keep up and once he approached the barrier wall of the outfield, a ball girl took matters into her own hands. She tackled him, which sent the man flying over the wall. The crowd erupted in applause and the invader was apprehended by security a short time later.
