RACINE, Wis (WRJN) – A joy ride for someone has lead to a temporary lack of joy on a local baseball field.

Cliffside Park - Racine

Some games at Cliffside Park on the northside of Racine are on hold after a driver took their vehicle onto the diamond on the northwest part of the park. 

Groundskeepers at the park are working to clear tire tracks, with hopes of having the field ready for use later this week.

The incident, which occurred over the weekend,  caused significant damage to the field, estimated to be around $2,000.
