Jessica Blaylock might have to start wearing a rain jacket to cover Marlins games for the foreseeable future.
One day after the Bally Sports reporter was drenched with water from the team’s water cooler following a walk-off win, Blaylock found herself in a similar situation once again — though she seemingly avoided the brunt of it.
The Marlins, tied in the ninth inning against the Cardinals on Wednesday afternoon, came through in the final frame once again when Otto Lopez delivered a two-out single to drive in Tim Anderson from second as right fielder Alec Burleson dropped the ball as he attempted to wing it home.

But that’s when someone from the Marlins opened up the water cooler on the bench and flung its contents toward both Lopez and Blaylock.
It appeared Lopez got the brunt of the water, while Blaylock — facing more toward the dugout — only got clipped by the liquid.
This came one day after Marlins star Jazz Chisholm threw water toward Blaylock — who was interviewing Vidal Brujan with her back turned to the bench — and completely drenched her entire pink outfit.

“It’s a game of adjustments,” she wrote on the social media platform with a crying laughing emoji.
