The Cardinals’ game against the Atlanta Braves is resumed after a prolonged rain delay at Busch Stadium in St. Louis on Friday night. Multiple reports describe extensive flooding around the ballpark and a delay lasting nearly three hours, which threatened the scheduled start and continuation of the matchup. The teams remain off the field while the grounds crew works to clear water and restore playable conditions. The game ultimately gets back underway around 10:45 p.m. Central Time, according to accounts from the outlets covering the event. One report notes that the delay stretches the game’s timeline, with the contest extending well past midnight after play resumes. Another describes the grounds crew’s efforts as instrumental in clearing the flooded stadium to allow the game to continue. Overall, the sources agree that weather-related flooding drives the delay, the grounds crew’s cleanup efforts enable the resumption, and the matchup continues later than originally planned.
