The Texas A&M baseball team had to come to the aid of the grounds crew on Saturday when a storm forced the game into a delay.
The Aggies’ game against Texas at Blue Bell Park in College Station, Tx. was forced into a delay thanks to a huge downpour on Saturday afternoon. Conditions were rough, and the grounds crew was struggling to get the tarp on the field.
Enter the Texas A&M baseball players, who ran onto the field to help get the tarp on.
Some issues with the tarp brought the whole Aggie baseball team out of the dugout to help, much to the delight of the crowd: pic.twitter.com/phtSiyXSW7

The crowd roared their approval as the players intervened. Sure enough, they eventually got the field covered, and returned to the dugout to a standing ovation.
Getting a tarp on the field can be quite challenging, especially when the weather is already a mess. At that point, time is of the essence, and everything is already wet. Add in some wind and it gets really tough. Even MLB grounds crews can struggle at that point.
Aggies players are known for having fun. Turns out they make for an effective emergency grounds crew as well.
