Baseball-loving girls with a knack for puns are in a league of their own.

Megan Brown, a New York-based blogger who is also a die-hard sports fan documented her interesting text exchange with a suitor.

When the sporty girl received a seemingly provoking, "I've never met a girl who likes baseball," it was more of a challenge than a stinging blow for Brown.

When the dude asks her to prove her fandom by naming teams in the eastern National League, she unleashes a string of puns that not only answers the question expertly, but also tells him how insulting it was in the first place.

Brown told Uproxx that she met the texter on a dating app and considered not even responding to the text. In the end, her love of puns and the opportunity to one-up a rude comment, won out. 

Safe to say, Megan is dominating this inning.
