Fox suffered a brief outage Tuesday during its primetime broadcast of Game 1 of baseball's World Series, resulting in a roughly seven-minute delay of the game.
Fox Sports blamed the mishap on a "rare electronics failure" in the production compound at Kauffman Stadium in Kansas City, where the Royals hosted the New York Mets.
The delay of game was called because the outage meant that both teams and umpires had no way of accessing the instant replay feed, Fox said.
The curve ball from the power outage only heightened the stakes of the game that wound up running 14 innings and more than five hours before the Royals prevailed in a 5-4 win.
