A “severe thunderstorm that rolled through Austin” on Wednesday evening “caused damage to UFCU Disch-Falk Field,” the home of the Univ. of Texas baseball team. The venue is scheduled to host the NCAA Tournament’s Austin Regional beginning on Friday. As of Wednesday evening, a spokesperson for the Texas athletic department said the schedule for the “regional remained the same.” Wind “blew green panels off the batter’s eye and into the outfield.” Work “had already begun on the damaged wall late Wednesday night,” and Texas AD Chris Del Conte said on social media that the stadium “would be ready for regional play on Friday” (AUSTIN AMERICAN-STATESMAN, 5/28).
