It was a game decided not just on the field, but in the air.

In the fourth inning of the Triple A game between the Milwaukee Brewers and the Minneapolis Millers, a harmless fly ball off the Millers’ Bama Rowell’s bat looked like an easy out—until a nighthawk swooped in and pecked it mid-flight. The ball veered wildly, leaving both outfielders scrambling as Rowell cruised into second. The hit set the stage for an eventual 4-3 Millers win.
