Being outside when thunder and lightning strike is enough to freak anyone out.

It’s just more comical when it startles grown men who happen to be professional baseball players.

The scare came at the top of the fourth when the Minnesota Twins Ryan Doumit was at bat against the Texas Rangers Saturday, MLB.com reports.

Many players hurried off the field while the grounds crew pulled the tarp over the infield.

After a 46-minute rain delay, the Rangers beat the Twins 4-3.
