Reporter falls victim to Gio Gonzalez's Gatorade shower

After the Nationals took down the Reds 8-1 in D.C. on Thursday, sideline reporter (and innocent bystander) Julie Alexandria took the brunt of a Gatorade victory bath meant for Gio Gonzalez during a postgame interview with the southpaw.

Do not ask for whom the Gatorade is dumped. The Gatorade is dumped ... for thee.

Of note: This was Alexandria's very first game on the job for MASN. So as far as initiations go ... yeah, this one ranks up there. If only there was a Wookie?

Beyond excited to be joining the @nationals as sideline reporter this season. Bring on the new adventure! And let the Wookie win.
