Two people were injured Friday in a natural gas explosion at a minor league ballpark in Lake Elsinore, hours before a game was set to take place.
The burst gas line caused a fire that was quickly doused by the sprinklers inside Diamond Stadium, said Maggie De La Rosa, a spokeswoman for the Riverside County Fire Department.
The incident was reported at 4:21 p.m., before fans entered the stadium. Two individuals sustained moderate injuries and were taken to a hospital, she said. The Lake Elsinore Storm, the Single-A affiliate of the San Diego Padres, had been set to play the Inland Empire 66ers at 7:15 p.m.It’s unclear what caused the explosion, and De La Rosa could not verify where it originated.
