Exploding sprinkler causes delay during minor league game
On a weekday afternoon at Parkview Field, school kids were treated to unexpected water fun when Fort Wayne TinCaps (Padres Affiliate) infielder Fernando Perez ran into a sprinkler during the game versus the Great Lakes Loons (Dodgers Affiliate). In the top of the fifth inning the Loons' Joey Curletta hit a pop-foul down the right field line, sending Perez into a chase toward the boundary. Perez, jolting from first, stepped on a hose connection at the base of the TinCaps bullpen, and sent water spraying into the air. The geyser-like condition halted the game for 18 minutes while the water was controlled and the area surrounding the bullpen was rehabilitated to playing shape.
