US EditionFast-moving storm causes headache for White Sox grounds crew
- A fast-moving storm caused a nearly three-hour delay during Sunday's Angels-White Sox game at Rate Field, which was in the bottom of the seventh inning with the score tied at 2.
- The storm created a headache for the grounds crew when it began to pour as it rolled over the ballpark.
- The grounds crew rushed out to cover the infield with a tarp, but they weren't able to fully cover the area, leaving the first base line exposed.
- The crew used a patchwork of smaller tarps to cover as much of the area as possible and then used approximately 4 tons of drying compound to prepare the infield after the rain stopped.
- The game resumed, and the Los Angeles Angels won with a score of 3-2.
