Crown College Softball Field

Crown College Softball Field

The Crown Softball field has undergone a three year transformation that borders on unbelievable. The field has seen some upgrades from snow fences and a backstop to one of the best softball fields in the UMAC. A warning track, permanent fencing, professional foul poles, bullpens, and an electronic scoreboard are the obvious upgrades, but small touches like Crown branded bases, fence wrap, painted dugouts, bat racks, and logoed distance markers make the field special.
