On Friday night, the Double-A San Antonio Missions (Padres) and Frisco RoughRiders (Rangers) had their game delayed by an unwanted visitor. A rather large snake slithered its way into center field during the eighth inning.

The snake was the second wild animal to delay a Missions games within the last week. A few days ago a cat camped out along the outfield wall:

The Missions won both the snake game and the cat game, and they're on an 11-game winning streak. I guess wild animals are a good luck charm?
