One of baseball's most viral trends has reached Cincinnati.
The 9-9-9 challenge, which has taken baseball fans by storm, is simple: You eat nine hot dogs and drink nine beers in nine innings. Participants try their best to drink one beer and eat one hot dog per inning.
As the Cincinnati Reds faced off against the Seattle Mariners last week, Reds fan Sarah Toth decided to tackle the challenge, or at least attempt to try it.
Toth started off strong with a hot dog and Bud Light combo through the first two innings before switching to a Busch Light in the third and a Budweiser in the fourth. The challenge got progressively harder each inning as Toth tried to gulp down the combo.
"It's getting harder, but we're doing it," Toth said in the viral TikTok. The video has since amassed over 2 million views and more than 200,000 likes.
Unfortunately, the 9-9-9 challenge was too much to bear, with Toth calling it quits during the seventh inning.
"Alright, guys, I think we're about to call it quits. This is my seventh beer, we got seven in seven. I think we did pretty good. I'm a little unwell," she said in the video.
Toth still got plenty of respect in the comments, with people writing, "honestly crazy work i still respect you" and "7 & 7 is still wildly impressive in the pitch clock era. That’s basically a retro 9/9/9 with the sped up games. Well done."
