Baseball field needs new drainage system

Connor Whittle, Staff Writer

Baseball has begun a great season with a five win and one loss record. However, what does not fit the team’s great season is their unfortunate field.

On rainy days, the field becomes sopping wet, and although the grounds crew does its best to keep the field dry, the field still gets flooded.

Therefore, the field needs a an improved drainage system. The field can try sand-based drainage. The sand helps prevent water from seeping through the field unevenly in order to prevent large puddles on the surface of the field.

Sophomore Chase Martaus said, “After it rains, we cannot go on the field for a couple days, which is really bad for preparing for our season.”

Sophomore Christophe Senghor said, “A new drainage system would be essential for our season because rain prevents us from doing anything on the baseball field, despite the parents’ best efforts to drain the field.”

On rainy days, the baseball field becomes a giant puddle. If any activity takes place on the field, it turns into a giant mud bath.

The baseball field needs help. It looks worn out, and there is only so much the grounds crew can do.
