Parkland High School Baseball

The Parkland baseball coaches and booster club parents held their annual field clean up day at the varsity field today.  Along with general clean up, parents worked to secure the turf in the batting cage, level out the warning track rock, and do some much needed maintenance on our coke wagon concession stand.  The big job of the day, however, involved the upgrade to the pitcher's mound and homeplate areas.  Both areas were dug up and clay bricks installed to give a solid subsurface footing.  With this firm foundation of clay underneath the pitcher's mound, batters' box, and catcher's area, wear and tear of these areas will be drastically reduced as the clay will help prevent large holes and divots from developing from the constant pounding and digging of players' spikes.  The booster club thanks all parents and coaches that turned out to help today.   A special thanks to Scott Friebolin and Jim Adams for their work on the coke wagon.
