Here's where fielding a foul ball can nearly cost you a game.

Saturday's contest between the Jupiter Hammerheads and Charlotte StoneCrabs, the Single-A affiliates of the Miami Marlins and Tampa Bay Rays, respectively, had to be postponed after Hammerheads backstop Roy Morales brought down the safety net behind home plate after falling into it while fielding a fourth-inning pop-up in foul territory.

Though both teams tried to continue playing by relocating fans behind the plate to a safer spot, the game was ultimately suspended and will be played Sunday on one of the StoneCrabs' back fields - which feature no concession stands, meaning everyone loses here.
