A college softball player took an embarrassing hit after she slid face-first into second base during the team's first game against Buffalo on Tuesday.

In a clip from ESPN's SportsCenter, Akron Zips outfielder Madison Carter made a run for second base during a ground ball but ended up face planting into the dirt.

Carter had entered as the pinch runner during the fourth inning as the team had been losing 2-0.

Despite the humiliating flop, Carter was able to quickly get up on the base safely. 

Announcers said the freshman player at the University of Akron suffered the face-plant because the dirt on the field had been wet. 

Adding insult to injury, the team also ended up losing to Buffalo, 3-0, that day.
