Someone needs to calculate the odds of this happening.

The Pensacola Blue Wahoos faced the Montgomery Biscuits on Saturday. One team plays another team in a minor league baseball game. Seems normal — except for the fact that the scoreboard didn't work at Pensacola Bayfront Stadium because it got struck by lightning.

Mother Nature calmed down enough to let the Blue Wahoos and Biscuits square off after a lengthy rain delay. Pensacola beat Montgomery by a final of 4-1. No word on whether the scoreboard will be sent to the 15-day DL.
