The bizarre incident unfolded on Saturday in Ridgefield, Connecticut, where the local high school team faced having its game delayed due to adverse weather conditions. Playing baseball on a wet field is borderline impossible and so somebody went to extreme lengths in an attempt to address the problem.

The solution, however, did more harm than good as 24 gallons of gasoline were poured onto the field, which was subsequently set on fire. Needless to say, the plan didn’t work and no game took place at Ciuccoli Field.

A video posted on Twitter on Saturday morning showed a portion on the field burning away, while someone attempts to keep the fire under control by sweeping what appears to be soil onto it.
