| 11/13/07 :: Synthetic Dirt The infield surface is being changed to Hilltopper stabilizer, a synthetic dirt which allows for easier field prep when inclement weather occurs. Rain will not penetrate the surface and allow for water to be easily squeegeed off of the infield. | 11/13/07 :: Getting Ready for Sod The outfield is leveled and prepped for resodding. | |
