Sans today’s snowfall, Fitton Field is in better overall shape and maintained than a large segment of baseball fields that have field turf.
I have watched a number of baseball games this spring on carpet fields. Many have shown extreme wear, especially the base paths and home plate that cannot be corrected without a major costly replacement of the field turf.
The Holy Cross landscaping grounds crew are national award winners as one of the best landscaped campuses in the United States. This is notable especially considering the terrain of Mt. St. James.
Dick Allen was a “Sage” who should be respected regarding the type of field that Baseball should be played.

The 'pards are much improved and stand 6-9 in league play after 3-2 win over Lehigh on Wednesday - with Army the likely north division winner we're fighting for the 2nd (last) playoff spot with Lafayette. They swept 3 games from us back in March so these are critical games if we have hopes for post-season play. I wonder if the field will be playable by 3 pm tmro after this snow today THey moved the series to PA, no fans allowed. HC is keeping Silver Fox Bus busy this weekend with all of the trips to PA.

Bryant actually pitched 5 scoreless innings, struck out 11, and only gave up 3 hits - quite a day ! observations: = our two sr pichers, Luke Dawson (11 innings pitched) and Liam Dvorak (10 innings pitched) must have arm problems with so little activity through 16 games = sr. captain David Kale has not been seen since the 2nd game of the year - does anyone know why ?
