The Braves’ “Beat the Freeze” race has become at SunTrust Park sensation.

The Freeze did it again.

The Atlanta Braves’ nationally recognized ballpark figure The Freeze didn’t just win another race on Thursday night when the Braves took on the San Francisco Giants— he made yet another fan eat dirt.

After falling, the fan did a few dirt angels on the warning track.

The Freeze's freaky fast speed has caused another to tip before.

The first "Beat the Freeze" race that caught national buzz was earlier in June when The Freeze's opponent gloated, asked the crowd to cheer for him and deservedly tripped face first into the outfield's red dirt.

The Braves start a new series with the Milwaukee Brewers on Friday night at 7:35 p.m. from SunTrust Park.
