Several Fans Taken to Hospital After Strong Winds Impact West Virginia Super Regional Game

Five fans were taken to the hospital for treatment after suffering injuries due to strong winds impacting an event tent during the NCAA baseball tournament's Morgantown Super Regional clash between West Virginia and Cal Poly on Saturday, according to the Associated Press.

Wind that reached speeds of 40 miles per hour caused the tent to blow over and cause injuries.

West Virginia fan Keith Hill described the incident.

"I was just trying to hold my weight on the pole with the cement block, and then it started sliding, and then another guy joined in, and he's trying to hold another pole, and then a big gust of wind came," Hill told WAJR radio, via the Associated Press. "It just started sliding really hard, and people got caught up in the ropes and the poles."

The game was in a weather delay for roughly 90 minutes due to the conditions before West Virginia defeated Cal Poly 17-1 to advance to the College World Series once play resumed.
