Mother Nature deserved an RBI in a minor league baseball game Tuesday night ... as one of her loud thunder claps helped a team get a run on the board!!
The wild moment went down in the Norfolk Tides' road matchup with the Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp at Vystar Ballpark ... when Roansy Contreras was facing off against Graham Pauley in the bottom of the first inning.
As Contreras was rearing back to throw some heat at Pauley, the sky suddenly opened up and a roll of thunder came crashing through.
