A member of the Coors Field grounds crew was briefly trapped under the tarp during a rain delay in the Mets-Rockies game Tuesday night.

The man tripped while helping to pull the tarp over the infield and was quickly smothered as the rest of the crew continued on. Once the tarp was flush, he crawled his way out to safety and smiled.

The crowd, which was retreating to the concourse as rain and lightning arrived in the bottom of the seventh inning, cheered as the man crawled out from under the white tarp like a mouse sneaking out from under the bed sheets.

New York led 4-3 with two outs and nobody on base when the game was delayed.
