Chase Headley gets doused, Meredith Marakovits catches some spray

After Mark Texeira homered to tie the game in the ninth, Chase Headley stepped up with a homer of his own to win it. Meredith Marakovits could completely escape the ensuing Gatorade Bath.

Brian McCann get 2 baths after walkoff homer, Meredith Marakovitz gets one. SS

Brina McCann came on as pinch hitter in the 10th inning of 4-4 game. With 2 outs and 2 on, he whacked a walkoff homer to beat the White Sox 7-4. He got a Gatorade bath from Brett Gardner as soon as he touched home plate. Then during his YES network TV interview, he got an ice water bath from Martin Prado. Meredith Marakovits was getting things set up with the camera man, and never saw the ice water coming until it was too late.  By the way, I love that blue dress and enormous gold watch she is wearing.

Meredith Marakovits avoids 99% of Martin Prado's Gatorade bath

Martin Prado had a walkoff, 2 out single in the bottom of the ninth, as the Yankees beat the White Sox 4-3. He also had a 2 run homer in the 3rd inning. So of course he got a Gatorade shower for his efforts. And then Brett Gardner surprised him with a second shower - ice water this time. Watch the video below closely: Meredith Marakovits sees Gardner coming out of the corner of her eye, and bolts at the last second, avoiding the Gatorade Bath. But the ice water, she did not see that coming at all.

Meredith Marakovitz takes a Gatorade Bath after Carlos Beltran walkoff home run

Meredith Marakovitz was a great sport after she received a Gatorade shower from Brett Gardner (who else?), after Carlos Beltran hit a 3-run walkoff homer to beat the Baltimore Orioles 5-3. It was the Yankees first walkoff win of the year.

Gardner is infamous for dishing out Gatorade Baths, but I do not ever remember him hitting a reporter before. Marakovitz asked Gardner when she should give him the dry cleaning bill, and he said hold onto it, there will be plenty more.

This awesome picture was taken by Ron Antonelli. Go check out his blog, use him as your photographer. Fantastic shot, dude.

Meredith Marakovits interviews Ivan Nova after his huge pitching performance

New York Yankees pitcher Ivan Nova pitched a complete game shutout on Saturday, as the Yankees defeated the Baltimore Orioles 2-0. So it was no big surprise when Brett Gardner snuck up behind him with a cooler full of Gatorade. Gardner has done this many times before, recently to Alfonso Soriano and Jayson Mix.

Meredith Marakovits watches Brett Gardner get a taste of his own medicine

Brett Gardner singled with two outs in the 10th inning to beat the Tigers, and end the Tigers 12 game winning streak. And considering all of the Gatorade baths that Gardner has dished out, he must have known that this was coming. Meredith Marakovits sure did.

At the bottom of the page, you can see the video of this Gatorade Bath at the 1:00 mark (courtesy of the YES Network).

Sarah Kustok avoids most of Alfonso Soriano's Gatorade shower

Gatorade King Brett Gardner douses Alfonso Soriano with Gatorade, after his game-winning single with one out in the bottom of the ninth inning, lifting the Yankees to a 6-5 victory over the Tampa Bay Rays.

And I'm not %100 percent sure, but I think that is Sarah Kustok looking on, and not Meredith Marakovits (who we see more often on YES). Sarah works for YES network now, covering the Brooklyn Nets. But maybe she fills in at the Stadium from time to time? From her Twitter page, she was at Yankee Stadium this day.
