The Worcester Tornadoes had an unwelcome delay of game tonight after a local company, armed with a court order, tried to collect on more than $4,000 in unpaid cleaning bills incurred by the independent baseball team.
Stephen S. Buchalter, president of Enterprise Cleaning Co. of Worcester, said lawyers for his company obtained a court order that enabled it to collect the game's receipts and take possession of the team's uniforms, bats, gloves and other equipment.
Constables and a so-called “keeper of the gate” were at the field tonight to execute the court order, Mr. Buchalter said. The game was delayed for an hour while Tornadoes officials contacted the commissioner of the Can-Am League, said Mr. Buchalter.
Enterprise cleans the Hanover Insurance Park stadium, bathrooms and concourses at a discounted rate and has not been paid for any of its services this year, Mr. Buchalter said, a pattern that has played out for the past two years, he said.
The game resumed after Tornadoes officials talked to the league's commissioner, who promised that the league would pay Enterprise on Tuesday, Mr. Buchalter said.
