Friday night marked the start the New Britain Rock Cats' final weekend series in the Brass City, but it didn't go off without a hitch.
New Britain Mayor Erin Stewart said the team brought a truck onto the field before the first pitch. The vehicle sank and tore a hole in the grass.
The visiting team, the Portland Sea Dogs, tweeted that "a fire engine dug up left field."
The game got underway around 8:25 p.m., after about an hour delay.
It's the Rock Cats' last weekend series in New Britain. The team will move to Hartford next year and play as the Yard Goats.
