Central News Agency (Tainan, April 25, reporter Chang Jung-hsiang) — The main stadium of the Tainan Asia-Pacific International Baseball Training Center experienced flooding after rain. The Tainan City Government Sports Bureau apologized tonight, stating that preliminary findings suggest recent heavy rainfall caused infield red soil to erode and accumulate in the drainage channels, leading to inefficient drainage.
The Sports Bureau issued a press release tonight, noting that the flooding at the Asia-Pacific Baseball Main Stadium after rain was initially determined to be due to recent heavy rainfall causing infield red soil erosion, which then clogged drainage channels, impeding smooth discharge.
The Sports Bureau has initially grasped the situation and has scheduled for construction units and maintenance teams to conduct on-site inspection and cleaning operations immediately after the completion of this week's games, and to refine the maintenance mechanism.
Furthermore, the Sports Bureau will subsequently review the venue's drainage and daily maintenance SOPs, and strengthen the frequency of post-rain inspections to ensure the drainage system maintains optimal performance, providing players and fans with a safer, more comprehensive, and professional venue.
