Does anyone know if Benton fields are grass infield?

nope there is no grass in the infield the dirt is made from brick so it hurts to slide on. lol

It is a complex of fields. Sure they will just use the high school field and the lower field. They are well maintained and I am sure will be in top notch shape.Later in the year the lower field gets a little loose, but that shouldn't be a problem.

Field 4 was in great shape, Field 3 well maintained but contained some obstacles. Centerfielder ran up a hill to make a catch, short and second ran down a hill to make a relay! Dirt was a little thick but those are all excuses all great teams play through any adversities even the field!

The centerfielder ran up the hill to catch a ball. That sounds like Minute Maid...Did you all play in Houston?

Those fields are owned and maintained by the City of Benton. It seems the school board and powers that be do not think the three time state softball champions(2 fast 1 slow) deserve a field of there own, but the baseball team just happened to get a brand new field. I am sure by the time my grand kids die of old age Benton high school girls will have a softball field, of course slow pitch will probably be back by then.
