Los Angeles Dodgers ball girl takes down fan who ran on the field

This Los Angeles Dodgers ball girl has been dubbed a “hero” after footage of her tackling a pitch invader went viral on social media.

Los Angeles Dodgers ball girl Marissa Rohan has been dubbed a “hero” after she tackled a fan who ran onto the field during Sunday’s victory over the rival Angels.

Rohan, who reps a No. 93 Dodgers jersey on the field, got the job done after a number of security personnel couldn’t catch the intruder.

The Dodgers were winning convincingly 6-1 when a fan stormed onto the field, leading security on a wild chase across the diamond and outfield.

But then video shows the fan — trailed by a swarm of security close behind — run into foul territory in right field, where he was presumably trying to make his escape over the wall and back into the stands.

As the fan approached the foul line, Rohan tackled him, forcing him to flip over the wall and prompting a huge roar from the crowd.

Rohan has worked for the team since 2019, but Monday’s take-down is believed to be her first-ever viral field moment.

She has been reposting messages and support from others to her Instagram Story. She even joked that Sunday was a “rough day at work.”

“Yeah I am not going to stop talking about this lol,” she captioned a news story about her play on Instagram.

The 24-year-old is a senior at California State University, pursuing a degree in deaf studies. She is a proud member of Alpha Phi sorority.

Rohan is a former gymnast and softball player, according to past posts on her public Instagram account — where she documents her relationship with boyfriend Justin Fallon, a ticket operations supervisor with the Dodgers.

When she’s not saving the day at Dodger Stadium, Rohan is like any other college student. She enjoys snowboarding, partying in Vegas, snapping the occasional selfie, and hitting the beach with friends.

Bottom line – don’t try to get past the Dodgers ball girl.

Dodgers ball girl Marissa Rohan has quickly become a cult hero.
