Things got a little nutty at PNC Park on Monday night.
The game between the Chicago Cubs and host Pittsburgh Pirates was delayed in the bottom of the second inning when a squirrel made its way onto the field.
The critter reportedly entered the field from the stands on the third-base side. Members of the grounds crew, equipped with nets, chased the squirrel across the warning track in a scene that deserved to be set to “Yakety Sax.”
Eventually, the rodent exited the playing field via the bullpen gate, ending the minutes-long delay.
No word on if he picked up some peanuts and Cracker Jacks before leaving.
