Sideline Reporter’s Laptop Obliterated by Gatorade Bath as She Interviewed San Francisco Giants Player

A MLB reporter’s laptop was completely trashed on Thursday night when it was caught in the middle of a celebratory Gatorade bath.

Following the San Francisco Giants’ 7-2 win over the New York Mets on Thursday, Giants catcher Daniel Susac was chosen for the team’s post-game interview. The 24-year-old made his MLB debut, reaching base on all four plate appearances with three hits and a walk.

As a result of such a stellar debut, Susac’s teammates decided to congratulate him with an ice-cold Gatorade bath. Right next to Susac was NBC Sports reporter Kylen Mills, who immediately recoiled as soon as the cold sports drink hit her, as well.

Unfortunately for Mills, her computer ended up being the biggest casualty of the moment. The laptop was placed on a stand just a few feet away from the group, and other angles showed it violently bend backward under the weight of the Gatorade pour.

Shortly after the game, Mills provided an update on the state of her device.

“My laptop is cooked,” she tweeted with a laughing emoji later that night.

Not every reporter’s a good sport about getting caught in a Gatorade bath. Last year, Fox report Ken Rosenthal gave a camera operator a pretty aggressive death stare when he bumped into him while trying to back away from the pour.
