HOUSTON — Texas Rangers fans had reason to celebrate in the fourth inning of their game against the Houston Astros in Game 6 of the American League Championship Series 

That's when Rangers catcher Jonah Heim hit a two-run homer just past the outstretched arm of Astros outfielder Kyle Tucker to give Texas a 3-1 lead in the must-win contest.

It was a big moment -- even if it hurt a little, at least for one fan.

Shortly after the home run, Mary-Olga Lovett shared a photo on X, formerly known as Twitter, of her friend, Rangers fan Amy Hall, with an ice pack on her head. 

Don't worry: Hall and Lovett were both smiling in the photo, so it appeared everyone was OK.

Lovett's post was came response to the Dallas Morning News sports reporter Brad Townsend wondering if Heim's homer, which went just beyond the glove of a leaping Kyle Tucker, "hit that poor lady in the head?"

Turns out, it had.

Yes, according to Lovett, the Rangers home run his a Rangers fan in the head.

Lovett said she and Hall are longtime friends, and that they were attending the game together and sitting in the right-field seats, just beyond the wall where Tucker almost stole a home run away from Heim.

Now, here's the kicker: Lovett is an Astros fan, and was even wearing a "King Tuck" crown in honor of Tucker to the game. 

If nothing else, at least Lovett and Hall are proof that Rangers and Astros fans can, indeed, get along.
