Brian Wilson Field - Batavia, Ohio

This is the first of a number of posts from a project that has been taking place this fall.  Brian Wilson Field in Batavia, OH is a new field that will host the UC Clermont baseball program beginning in 2013.

The plan is as follows:

1. Take an existing softball field with 200 ft fences and create a college baseball field
2. Build a new backstop
3. Irrigate the playing surface
4. Create a new infield surface using Dura Edge products
5. Build a new warning track
6. Sod the infield and foul territory areas
7. Seed the outfield
8. Build a new mound and two bullpens
9. Opening Day - March 2013

Here are a few before and after photos of the project as a first overview:
