Peabody High Senior Makes MLB Highlight Reel Thanks to Fly Ball

Becca Sacca ended up in the game's highlight reel after an excited fan knocked her cell phone from her hand, following an impressive catch by Shane Victorino.

Peabody High senior Becca Sacca probably didn't expect she'd end up on live primetime television, let alone a Major League Baseball highlight clip, when she and her family attended Wednesday night's Red Sox game against Detroit.

But when Red Sox right fielder Shane Victorino made an impressive catch into the stands on a fly ball down the right field line, Sacca was right there.

An excited fan can be seen in the highlight clip pumping his fists in celebration at the catch and inadvertently knocking Sacca's cell phone from her hand onto the field as she tried to snap a picture.

Victorino then stooped down to retrieve the phone as well, much to Sacca's obvious chagrin.
