THOMASVILLE, Ga. (WALB) — The Thomas University baseball team will be out of home games for the remainder of the season.

This comes after their field was hit by those same storms.

There are cinder blocks all over the field to the side and even some of the outfield fences are warped.

According to the National Weather Service of Tallahassee, Florida, a tornado caused the damage.

Israel Gonzales and Eric Bunker of the Tallahassee National Weather Service say it all happened at 11:34 p.m. Wednesday night.

One of the locals was shocked that the pitch had been hit so hard.

“I was just outside when it happened and called my friends and when it happened we heard it, we didn’t think it would come down here and it didn’t hit any houses or whatever, it’s crazy,” Jahaqez Tims said.
