After beekeeper Matt Hilton removed the swarm, the Diamondbacks had him throw out the first pitch.
The start of Tuesday night's game between the Los Angeles Dodgers and Arizona Diamondbacks was delayed nearly two hours after a bee colony swarmed the top of the protective netting directly behind home plate.Diamondbacks manager Torey Lovullo and Dodgers manager Dave Roberts met with the umpires shortly after the delay began and the public address announcer told the crowd about the delay.
With another quick wave to pump up the crowd, he stunned the bees with spray and started sucking them up with a shop vac as Bonnie Tyler's 'Holding Out for a Hero' blared through the loud speakers.Hilton hit the last few stranglers with more spray before lowering back onto the field, pumping his fist as the crowd cheered again.The delay lasted nearly 90 minutes and the players were given 30 minutes to loosen back up before the first pitch was thrown.
