A spokesperson for Weatherford College tells TMZ Sports an investigation into the incident is underway. The school says Woodward could face serious disciplinary action as a result of the attack ... and expulsion is on the table.
Weatherford head baseball coach Jeff Lightfoot released a statement ... saying, "We are shocked and disappointed at what happened in our game today."
"We do not condone this type of behavior. We have worked hard to build a program with the highest of standards. We are completely embarrassed by this incident, and we apologize to North Central Texas College and the fans of WC baseball."
