"What's up, Oscar," Forshey said when Gonzalez finished his round of batting practice at Progressive Field.

Forshey had a brief conversation with Gonzalez before he stepped away to prepare for Game 3 of the ALDS.

Forshey, a softball player herself, simply put meeting Gonzalez, "it's pretty cool."

Forshey got a slew of autographs including signatures from Terry Francona, Sandy Alomar, Shane Bieber, and Jose Ramirez.

"I've been watching them play for a lot of years so I'm just glad I got to meet them," said Forshey.

Forshey told 3News that Gonzalez's home run was the first she's ever caught at a Guardians game.

"Thank you for coming and everything," said Guardians right fielder Oscar Gonzalez.
