Baseball Selfies Earn Girls Moment Of Internet Fame
A girl and her video which is being described as “Baseball selfies” went viral on Monday after she ran out onto the field with two other female friends during the College World Series.
The girls ran onto the field on Tuesday night, and, as they attempted to allude security guards, they recorded the act on video.
The girls talked about the possibility of taking baseball selfies on Twitter before and after the big run.
The three girls are Kayleigh Hill, Emily Hill, and Torrie Hill, and they’re from Omaha, Nebraska.
While UCLA won 8-0 over Mississippi to claim their first baseball title in school history, it is likely the Twitter comments and baseball selfies video that will be remembered.
Early into the College World Series, Kayleigh Hill said she would run onto the field with her female friends if they could raise enough money to cover the fine. Here are several messages that were posted and then later removed from Kayleigh’s Twitter account:
“2nd out we goin

“End of the 6th, kayleigh torrie and I are running on the field. Watch for us
— Emily Hill (@mothafukaimhILL) June 26, 2013”
“This ones for you bowk
— Kayleigh Hill (@gonedownHILL) June 26, 2013”
Kayleigh made sure to catch the entire event on Vine and then cross posted the video to her Twitter account. While she has since removed the Vine, you can see her triumphant selfie captured here in GIF format:
After the baseball selfies were taken and the girls were captured, fans began posting their own pictures of the event to Twitter:

So was it worth it?
Torrie says she got away with the entire stunt because she’s a minor, but the other two were detained.
Was it worth it? Torrie Hill tweeted:

Following their capture, Kayleigh Hill started the hashtag #freeteamhill, which for a short period of time caught on via Twitter.
