Storms on Thursday destroyed the Pasco Connect Baseball Club’s new training complex, damaging months of volunteer work and donations. The nonprofit, serving players aged 8-18, had planned its first practice at the facility but faced devastation from lightning, strong winds, and heavy rain. Wooden posts snapped, metal structures were bent or scattered, leaving the community-driven project in ruins. Coach Jason Canals highlighted the club’s reliance on local businesses, sponsors, and families to build the facility, which provides affordable baseball opportunities. The incident underscores the vulnerability of grassroots organizations to natural disasters while emphasizing their commitment to youth development.
