Padres ball girl catches blazing line drive on Opening Night (Video)



A San Diego Padres ball girl made an outstanding catch of a blazing line drive in foul territory during the bottom of the eighth inning of Sunday night's season opener against the rival Los Angeles Dodgers.

Padres batter Yonder Alonso hit the foul liner towards the short right field stands on an 0-2 pitch. The Padres ball girl got up from her seat and snagged it with one hand, then handed it off to a young fan like it was no big deal.

The Padres won the game 3-1, so a great way to start the season all around.

UPDATE: This isn't the first time that this particular Padres ball girl, whose name is Catalina, has made a great line drive catch. Back in August 2012, Catalina snagged a liner that was heading straight for the Braves bullpen.
