Before the Pensacola Blue Wahoos (Reds Double-A affiliate) defeated the Montgomery Biscuits 4-1 on Saturday, Mother Nature KO'd the scoreboard, rendering it dysfunctional for the baseball game.
Some folks at Pensacola Bayfront Stadium captured video of the strike that occured a few hours before gametime Saturday night. Take a look:

The scoreboard and video board are being fixed. Those lights on the scoreboard lit up when struck yesterday. pic.twitter.com/DJVdYrFaha
