PITTSBURGH, Aug. 11 (UPI) -- A Pittsburgh Pirates fan attempting to catch a foul ball ended up with something far messier -- a face full of his own nachos.

The spectator at Wednesday's game between the Pirates and the San Diego Padres at PNC Park in Pittsburgh was caught on camera standing and lunging to catch a foul ball hit by Pirates player Jung Ho Kang.

The man missed the ball, but ended up tossing his plate of nachos into his own face.

The fan's messy spectacle wasn't fully a waste -- the Pirates hooked him up with a free replacement T-shirt.

The team tweeted a photo of the man with his new shirt, a baseball and a plate of nachos.

"We got you, dude. Good effort," the team tweeted.
