The university’s softball facility sustained the most destruction. The roof of the visitor’s dugout was torn off by high winds and the structure toppled.
A section of fence at McCarthy Field, home field for the Newman Jets Baseball Team, was damaged, as well.
In addition, a half dozen trees were snapped by winds during the storms.
