Arizona Diamondbacks Minor-league Round-Up, 5/7: Aces roll snake-eyes

Snake Stars

In the third inning, Reno shortstop Jack Reinheimer noticed the creature on the infield and alerted the umpires. He said, "I was probably a couple feet from it. It wasn't very big -- it was only a couple feet long -- but it just freaked me out... I asked the umpire, 'Do we just keep playing?' I don't know if we're supposed to try and pick it up and get it off the field, but I'm not laying out for a ball if it's right there.” The grounds crew eventually de-reptiled the field, and play resumed.
