Baseball never fails to deliver the unexpected, and Wednesday night in Montgomery, Alabama, was no exception. A routine home run turned into one of the most bizarre plays you'll see in the minors, thanks to a ball that quite literally got stuck in the outfield grass.

Austin Overn, an outfielder for the Montgomery Biscuits—the Tampa Bay Rays' Double-A affiliate—stepped to the plate in the seventh inning of an 11-3 loss to the Biloxi Shuckers. He sent a pitch screaming down the right field line, and what should have been a clean home run quickly became a head-scratcher.

Right fielder Damon Keith gave chase, sliding awkwardly in an attempt to keep the ball from rolling to the wall. But in a twist of fate, his body pushed the ball right into the turf at Riverwalk Stadium, where it embedded itself like a buried treasure. Keith, though injured on the play, remained in the game but couldn't pry the ball loose from the grass. Meanwhile, Overn trotted around the bases with ease, scoring his second homer of the night.

After Overn crossed the plate, the umpire and representatives from both teams gathered in right field to investigate. It took Biloxi first baseman Blake Burke to finally dig the mud-covered ball out of the grass, ending a wacky sequence that had everyone shaking their heads. For fans of the game, it's a reminder that even in the minors, baseball can surprise you—and sometimes, the ball just doesn't want to come out of hiding.
