DENVER (AP) — Coors Field is shoveled out from a May snowstorm in time for the Colorado Rockies to play the Los Angeles Dodgers.
An overnight storm dropped up to 5 inches in parts of the Denver area. The grounds crew spent Sunday morning shoveling the outfield and taking the snow out of the stadium in small bulldozers.
An hour before the first pitch, the sun was shining, the field was completely clear of snow and the infield was dry and ready for baseball. The series finale began on time after the first two games were affected by the wet weather that has socked Colorado for the last week. Temperatures were in the low 40s at the start Sunday.
Friday’s game was shortened to five-plus innings because of heavy rain. Saturday’s was postponed by rain that turned into snow in the early evening. The snow stopped early Sunday.
