Two fans at a Minnesota Twins - Boston Red Sox baseball game got more than they bargained for, after running out on the field and sliding past home plate. They weren't looking out for Nate Reese, a bat boy for Minnesota, who executed a perfect (and violent) tackle.

"As soon as the guy rounded third, there weren't any guards around, so I thought I'd hit him," said Reese, who played rugby, and was a wrestler in high school.

The men weren't arrested, but could face charges if the city attorney feels they're warranted. Both dugouts gave the bat boy a standing ovation; one of the coaches later presented Reese with a fishing pole.

"Play of the game," said Minnesota Twins reliever Joe Nathan.
