Squirrel from Cardinals game captured

ST. LOUIS, Oct. 10 (UPI) -- The squirrel that ran across third base during a St. Louis Cardinals home game against the Philadelphia Phillies was taken to a wildlife center, officials said.

Pam Bolton, the executive director of the Wildlife Rescue Center in Ballwin, said the squirrel, which was nicknamed Rally after running across third base during Wednesday's game, was caught by the Busch Stadium grounds crew Friday and transported to the center, KYTV, Springfield, Mo., reported Monday.

"He's a very famous squirrel and we're honored to have him at the wildlife center," Bolton said.

"We have 15 acres of property, lots of trees and a two acre pond there, so he'll have plenty of water and places to live. He won't get peanuts and popcorn like he does there, but he'll have very healthy food and a great environment," she said.
