The start of Tuesday night\'s Los Angeles Dodgers-Arizona Diamondbacks game was delayed nearly two hours after a bee colony swarmed the top of the protective netting behind home plate.
Matt Hilton turned into the star of the night for removing the bees, earning the nod to throw out the ceremonial first pitch at Chase Field.
\"Minor leagues to the big leagues now,\" said Hilton, branch manager for Blue Sky Pest Control\'s Phoenix office. \"It\'s pretty cool.\"
Bee swarms are common during the spring in Arizona and have caused numerous spring training delays through the years. Chase Field has a retractable roof that was open for Tuesday\'s game, so the bees had free rein.
