Sinkhole in Ballpark behind the pitcher's mound in Arlington, Texas stopped the Rangers and Indians from having their on-field batting practice.

Apparently, a broken pipe located under the infield caused the sinkhole in Rangers Ballpark, delaying the batting practice of both the team of Cleveland Indians and Texas Rangers. The supposed on-field batting practice for the teams was scheduled on Tuesday, but because of the sinkhole Ballpark, it was cancelled so the crew could fix it.

The ground maintenance staff working on fixing the sinkhole in Ballpark dug more than 3 feet deep just so they can repair the busted pipe, which was used to water the field.

The repair completed just an hour before game was about to start, and the grass behind the mound was placed back onto its place. The crew used a hose attached to the fixed pipe to water the grass and dirt in the infield.

The sinkhole in Ballpark happened two and a half hours before a baseball game between Cleveland Indians and Texas Rangers was scheduled to begin. Since the crew workers had to take care of the sinkhole in Rangers Ballpark first, both the teams just practiced in an indoor batting cage.

Two weeks ago, there was also another issue in the field that postponed a game between Rangers Ballpark and Arizona Diamondbacks. Reportedly, it was because of an unplayable field conditions. The infield was soaked that night due to a severe thunderstorm. Although the rain stopped shortly after that and the field was prepared for the game, officials still decided to postpone it because according to them, the dirt base paths were too soft and it cause some danger to players.
