The Arizona Diamondbacks have a bit of a tradition this year.
When they win in walk-off fashion, the player being interviewed after the game must be drenched with coolers of Gatorade.
In the past, this has not gone well for Fox Sports Arizona’s reporter.
Jody Jackson knows this well when she picked the wrong spot to duck away from left fielder David Peralta getting doused earlier this month.

Cut to Tuesday night, and Fox Sports Arizona’s Kate Longworth did not pick the wrong spot following the D-backs’ 5-4 walk-off win over the Los Angeles Angels.

The first cooler of Gatorade was handled by Peralta, who dumped it right on top of center fielder A.J. Pollock, not getting much on Longworth at all.
Longworth, however, would not escape the danger.
Right fielder Steven Souza Jr. was either on a mission to target Longworth or has terrible aim because Longworth took all of the second bucket.
Was it @KateLongworth who won the game? Or was this targeting? Seems like targeting. pic.twitter.com/mxDMrFthTG

A huge credit to Longworth, who took a few seconds to recover before getting right back to the interview.
