A fast-moving storm interrupted the Angels-White Sox game at Rate Field, resulting in a significant delay. The grounds crew struggled to fully cover the infield as rain fell, particularly on the first base line. Head groundskeeper Roger Bossard noted the storm's unusual severity, stating he had never experienced hail while managing a tarp. After 2 hours and 48 minutes of delay, the game resumed, with the Angels securing a 3-2 win. Bossard expressed pride in his crew's effort during the challenging weather.
"I've had some trying times in my career. Eight inches of snow before opening day, stuff like that. This one takes the cake. I don't ever remember hail while I'm pulling the tarp, and I used close to 4 tons of drying compound."
"I'm so proud of the crew, the great job they did. We all hung together."
