HOUSTON — When you see Simone Biles' latest feat, you'll flip.
Before Wednesday's World Series matchup between the Houston Astros and Washington Nationals, the world record-breaking gymnast put a spin on a baseball tradition, performing an elaborate backflip ahead of her ceremonial first pitch at Minute Maid Park.
According to USA Today, the 22-year-old, who was decked out in an Astros jersey, hails from Spring, Texas, just minutes away from Houston.
Biles later took to Twitter to share photos from her pregame appearance.
"Take It Back," she wrote, referencing the Astros' postseason catchphrase.

Biles also added an acrobatic twist to a first pitch at the park in July 2016, MLB.com reported.
