An already long night got even longer in The Bronx on Friday night when some lights went out at Yankee Stadium in the bottom of the 12th, causing a 16-minute delay.

With Carlos Beltran facing Red Sox reliever Tommy Layne and a 1-0 count of a 3-3 game, action was stopped when multiple banks of lights lost power.

The players were directed off the field about eight minutes into the delay.

Although only a small crowd remained at the time of the delay, many fans who were still in attendance put up their cell phone flash lights in a humorous attempt to light The Stadium.

The Yankees dealt with a similar situation last June in Oakland, when some lights beyond the left-field seats weren’t on between the top and bottom of the fourth.

That game was stopped for 38 minutes before the lights came back on.
