Silver Spring firefighter, baseball, and a hose meet at Montgomery Blair Stadium: when a Thunderbolts slugger’s pregame shot pings a fireman’s truck, gallons of water arc over the fence, instantly transforming the field into a pond. Curious if a baseball game can be canceled by fire department intervention? Wondering what happens when a ballpark sits beside a firehouse? Thunderbolts’ social media nailed it: “Gallons of water were sprayed over the fence from the fire department after a ball hit a pickup truck parked by the station. That water has created a pond in center.”

That impromptu pond, courtesy of one firefighter’s aquatic artistry, left both the Silver Spring-Takoma Park Thunderbolts and the Metro SoCo Braves searching for waders, not bats. Is it legal for firefighters to spray a baseball field? How often do balls hit vehicles at stadiums with neighboring fire stations? Montgomery County is now reviewing the incident, apologizing for “any inconvenience,” as players ponder if the CRCBL’s next mascot will be a rubber duck.

More than 1000 gallons of water transformed the outfield into an accidental lake, stranding collegiate athletes in soggy cleats while Maryland-National Capital Park Police launched their most unexpected investigation of the season.
