Tarp attack
Here is a link to some amazing video of from a rain delay Friday in the game between Southern Illinois and Joliet.
A severe thunderstorm with heavy rain and strong wind gusts moved through Joliet between the sixth and seventh innings at Silver Cross Field. The ground crew put the tarp down over the infield and seemed to have it secured. The wind, however, lifted up the tarp. Some of the ground crew who returned to reposition the tarp were gobbled up in the flying tarp.
The game called after six innings.
