PITTSBURGH — Heavy rain that caused devastating flooding in neighborhoods south of Pittsburgh also forced the postponement of the Pirates-Brewers game Wednesday night.
After grounds crews covered the field with the tarp, one Brewer decided to have a little fun. Bullpen catcher Marcus Hanel turned the tarp into a Slip ‘n Slide, gliding across the soaked piece of plastic.
The game was initially delayed for 2 hours then postponed. The makeup game is scheduled for July 14 as part of a double-header.
The downpour also flooded the dugout and part of the tunnels going into the clubhouse.
Players had to roll up their pants to wade through the ankle deep water.
