Watch: Fan helps Jake Arrieta celebrate no-hitter, then gets arrested

On April 8, 1974, Hank Aaron broke Babe Ruth's career home run record, hitting No. 715 against Dodgers left hander Al Downing.

Britt Gaston and Cliff Courtenay, two 17-year-old fans, jumped onto the field along the first-base line and raced to catch up with Aaron as he was rounding the bases. They each patted him on the back midway between second and third base before peeling off and running up the third-base line to try to find an escape from security.

On Thursday night, 22-year-old Dylan Cressy channeled Gaston and Courtenay. Cressy hopped the fence at Cincinnati's Great American Ball Park and rushed onto the field to congratulate Cubs pitcher Jake Arrieta after he tossed his second no-hitter in his last 11 regular season starts.

Arrieta was the star, striking out six while walking four in the Cubs' 16-0 win, but Cressy got to live out every fan's dream of celebrating with their favorite team after a big moment.

Cressy's moment was brief as he joined the Cubs' jumping group hug only to be quickly ushered away by a security guard. According to the Cincinnati Enquirer, Cressy was arrested over his personal congratulations and charged with criminal trespassing.

The Cubs (12-4) have the best record in baseball and Arrieta (4-0) is a big reason. He has continued his Cy Young award-winning form from last season, giving up just 15 hits and three runs in 31 innings this season. In his last 16 regular season starts, Arrieta is 15-0 with a 0.53 ERA.
