AUGUSTA, Ga. (AP) — High winds toppled part of the outfield wall in the Augusta, Ga., minor league baseball stadium shortly before an Augusta GreenJackets game.

Authorities said a 50-foot section of the 18-foot-high center-field wall at Lake Olmstead Stadium was blown down by heavy winds during a thunderstorm on Wednesday.

The Augusta Chronicle reports the wall was toppled when strong winds hit the ballpark less than an hour before Wednesday night’s game was scheduled to begin. No injuries were reported.
