The 32 Fisher College baseball players weren't left on the side of the road, though.
While they waited for another bus to be sent from Boston, they were taken to the fire station to wait, while enjoying some food and hospitality.
"I was like, 'Whoa,' like, 'What are we going to do now?'" pitcher Ronnie Luke recalled.

Luke was one of the first to realize the tire had popped on the team's bus, and that they were in trouble.
"Honestly, at first, I thought it was a gunshot," he said. "I looked down at my feet and there was a bunch of fluid. I knew we had to get off the bus, like, as soon as possible."
Center fielder Jose Neiris helped his teammates get their luggage off the bus.
"I called my dad, he was like, 'Oh, what's that?' and I'm like, 'It's our bus, it's on fire,'" he said.
One comment from a mom of one of the players was thankful for firefighters' help.
"I thank you all so much for taking care of them," she wrote. "Your kindness meant so much!! You are all hero’s! God bless you all"
