A woman who went to see the San Diego Padres left as a brand new madre.
Petco Park announced that a baby boy was born during Thursday night's game against the San Francisco Giants, the first in the ballpark's 11-season history.
Capt. Joe Amador of the city's Fire-Rescue Department tells the San Diego Union-Tribune that the baby and mother were taken by ambulance from the park to Kaiser Permanente San Diego Medical Center.

The Padres later tweeted that a great crowd of 31,137 enjoyed the game -- a 5-4 walk-off win over the Giants -- but that figure did not include the baby boy born around the third inning.
