A minor league game in Lake Elsinore, California was postponed Friday after a gas explosion in the home team's locker room burned two people, according to KCAL.
The incident reportedly occurred around 4:20 p.m. PT, hours before a game between the Lake Elsinore Storm, the San Diego Padres' Single-A affiliate, and Inland Empire 66ers, a Los Angeles Angels affiliate, was scheduled at the Lake Elsinore Diamond.
The cause of the explosion has not been confirmed, but reports from the scene apparently indicate a natural gas line burst inside the home team's clubhouse. Two people, neither of them players, were left with burns described as moderate injuries and airlifted to a local hospital.
The stadium was evacuated after the incident and the Storm announced both Friday and Saturday's game would be postponed.
The Storm later released a statement confirming "an accident" had occurred in its home clubhouse and that two contracted workers were injured. They did not confirm the incident to be a gas explosion:
“Tonight’s game in Lake Elsinore has been postponed due to an accident in the home clubhouse. While no players were involved, our thoughts and prayers go out to the contracted workers who were injured. We will be providing assistance to the Storm and those affected by the incident, and we will provide updates on their game schedule when appropriate.”
