An Independence Day fireworks show did not go as planned for a New York Mets minor league affiliate Thursday night.

Following a 4-1 victory against the Daytona Tortugas, a fire broke out beyond the outfield walls of First Data Field—the home of the High-A St. Lucie Mets—as a result of a fireworks display:
