The College officially dedicated its new baseball field in Schenectady’s Central Park Friday, April 10, 2009, during a ceremony between games of a doubleheader against Skidmore College.
In a partnership between the College and the city, Union donated $162,000 to renovate “Diamond C,” one of three baseball fields in Central Park. The upgrades include a new infield featuring Kentucky bluegrass sod, new bases and a sprinkler system. Improvements were also made to the dugouts, outfield, bullpen areas and the fencing surrounding the field.
The city’s youth leagues will be able to use the new field when the College season ends in early May.
