Dallas Baptist University is doing all they can to ensure the field at Horner Ballpark will be ready to go for Friday’s NCAA regional games.
If you’re living in Dallas-Fort Worth, you’re probably aware that a massive line of storms crossed over the Metroplex overnight, soaking the entire area.
DBU, meanwhile, is scheduled to host a pair of games Friday as one of 16 regional hosts for the NCAA baseball tournament.
So they did what any institution that could get their hands on a helicopter would do in this situation: They called on that helicopter to blow dry their outfield.
It wasn’t just the helicopter, of course. They had ground support in the form of a large team of folks with leaf blowers, and even the DBU coaches were out there doing their part.
The action is scheduled to get underway at DBU at 1:30 PM, with a game between the Texas Longhorns and the Oregon Ducks. DBU plays Virginia Commonwealth at 6:30 PM.
Apparently it worked -- the games were underway Friday afternoon.
