Watched the game on ESPN+. Great finish, but Marist really needs to upgrade their softball facility. Little league bleachers beyond the dugouts. And what kind of trees are those growing behind the backstop? been saying it for years, absolutely beyond a dump. Sub-high school level. Absolutely needs an upgrade. Can't be too expensive but it is kinda embarrassing when you have hosted the MAAC tourney twice in the past 4 years and that's your facility. I know Sacred Heart in CT recently built a very simple but nice stadium. Just need some nice seats behind the backstop. Could use it for high school tournaments too.

They cut the trees down?
Or maybe they were just big weeds.

Claire with a lead-off double to start the 2nd inning, advances to third on a bunt, and scores the first run on a botched grounder.

Watching the game on ESPN, slightly distracted by the trees in the way from the Home Plate camera. You could do some amazing things with that field.....knock out some of the rock wall, raised bleachers behind home plate, so your not standing on the fence line trying to look around the dug outs.......I really didn't like ESPN's centerfield cam view either. Yes, a little money for the diamonds would go a long way. The baseball field is a bit questionable, not sure how the bleachers behind the back-stop is a show stopper........looks like your would tumble down into the back-stop if you lose your footing...lol
Great last out, last chance homer for Claire.......

Sacred Heart's facility looks gorgeous and well-sized for the MAAC. Hartford a little less aesthetically pleasing, but useful, same CCSU. Those two have turf.
1-1 with Monmouth after 3 complete.

Looks like they cut the trees/weeds down for today's games. Also moved the centerfield camera slightly towards left field giving a more traditional centerfield camera view. To be clear, the field looks to be in excellent shape, which is what is most important for the players, but the fan experience definitely leaves a lot to be desired. I'm guessing one of those tents set up is a concession stand. Can't imagine hosting a tournament and not providing sustenance for the attendees.
