Indiana State University - A Tale of Two Infields

I made a stop at ISU yesterday and visited two fields maintained by Dan O'Brien and Sean Mang. Dan and his crew does a great job. The first photos show the renovated baseball field at Bob Warn Field at Sycamore Stadium. Field Turf was installed last spring in the infield at an approx. cost of $200,000.00.

About 6 blocks away is the Eleanor Forsythe St. John Softball Complex • Price Field. This field was amended with Dura Edge Pro from the Natural Sand Company and J&D Turf in the fall of 2010. the cost of the project was approx. $6,500.00

After .5 inches of rain yesterday, both fields were ready to play. Do you think a having a balanced infield mix affects the field after heavy rains?
