Comments
LET'S GO...
HOKIES!!!
Hokies up 4-0 in the 4th.
Game is on ACCNX or ESPN+
Hokies up 13-0 now
13-2 in the bottom of the eighth.
The sledgehammer is allowed now?
Apparently is. Last year they skirted it by stepping off the field but these shots appear to be on the field.
Hokies win 14-2
Is the infield and base paths/"dirt" all field turf?
Yeah. I can't remember if the mound is dirt or not but everything else is turf
All turf outside the mound and possibly the batters box. Not sure on the batters box at this point.
Batters box is turf.
Warning track is turf but has a slightly different feel, but basically pointless. It's not like going from grass to dirt.
Outfield too then. Call me a purist, but I like the dirt basepaths. is there a dirt warning track? if not how does it actually warn the OF while tracking a ball?
