The Rockies got a chance to do some different sliding than on Thursday afternoon.

As a hail storm swept across the Denver metro area, Coors Field was smothered in pieces of hail that piled up all the way to the handles of the doors of the clubhouse — and the players were loving it.

Colorado catcher Elias Díaz took a swan dive onto the field, delighting in the unexpected winter wonderland in June.

Díaz also took the time to begin spelling out his name with indentations on the hail and made snow angels on the wintry grass in the stadium.

Rockies pitcher Germán Márquez, bewildered, grabbed a handful of the pieces of hail that got to be as big as ping pong balls: “Like rocks,” he said in a video.

The Rockies are still scheduled to take on the Dodgers, wrapping up a three-game series, though the game was still in delay and did not start at 8:40 p.m. as scheduled.

Hail storms have been a constant in Denver this month as the city has experienced is the wettest June on record, according to 9News Denver.

Another storm system, which moved across the southern part of Denver last Thursday, brought heavy rain, destructive hail, and a tornado to Highlands Ranch.

In some cases, that hail storm destroyed property.

A CBS Colorado employee’s vehicle sustained heavy damage while they were driving on Thursday, and the car’s back windshield was knocked out.

Just last week, a hailstorm canceled a Louis Tomlinson concert at Red Rocks Amphitheatre, sending seven concertgoers to the hospital as the storm rained down.

Thursday’s storm brought pellets of hail into the press box as reporters looked on.

The Rockies, who are 32-50 and sit in last place in the NL West, are trailing the Dodgers by 13 1/2 games in the divisional race.

Colorado is expected to send veteran pitcher Chase Anderson to the mound while the Dodgers are starting rookie Emmet Sheehan.
