RIDGEFIELD, Conn. - Officials in Connecticut said a "poor decision" was made when 24 gallons of gasoline was poured on a baseball field on Saturday and set on fire to "dry the field quicker."
According to town officials, the Ridgefield High school baseball game was delayed due to wet field conditions on Saturday.
Officials posted a statement on Facebook:
No one was injured.
Ridgefield Police are looking into the "decision" to pour gasoline on the field. The field will likely remain closed for a week while investigators complete the investigation.
