Riding a 12-game winning streak, the Shorter softball team is ready to play its home opener — on its new-look home field.

But first, the weather will have to cooperate.

Shorter (13-1, 4-0) was scheduled to host the University of Alabama-Huntsville today in a Gulf South Conference doubleheader, but the games might be postponed due to weather concerns.

Several upgrades have been made to Shorter’s home field at Alto Park, including a new scoreboard, more foul territory, an outfield fence that is now 12-feet high and is fronted by a new warning track, more room behind home plate, and improvements to the dugouts and bullpens.

“Without the help of the City, the County and Todd Wofford and the entire Parks and Recreation Department, this couldn’t have been done,” said Shorter softball coach Al Thomas. “It’s drop-dead gorgeous.”
