A woman celebrated her own victory during a baseball game on Thursday.
Jaime Stiles gave birth to her son, Levi, during the third inning of the San Diego Padres against the San Fransisco Giants at Petco Park in California.
Stiles began contractions at 4:30 p.m. before the start of the game, and the baby was ready to be delivered by 8 p.m.
"It happened so fast I didn't really have time to think about it. It was seriously from zero to 60 in like 30 minutes," she told KNSD. "I was in total shock. It was the craziest thing that I could've ever imagined. There it was, me having a baby at Petco Park."
The MVP of the night may have been the Petco Park on-staff nurse and midwife who helped deliver Stile’s baby.
Onlookers said people held up tarps to shield the woman and provide privacy during her delivery.
Levi’s birth was announced over the loudspeaker at the ballpark to a shouts and cheers from fans.
“That might be our good luck charm,” Padres outfielder Travis Jankowski said after Levi’s birth and the Padres’ victory. “We gotta get him season tickets.”
Fans took to social media to tweet about the first baby to be born at Petco Park.
