Maryland Eastern Shore Hawks baseball (NCAA DI NEC) |
The stadium has been renovated twice. In 2008, the field was resodded, new wind screens and foul poles were added, and the dugouts and press box were repainted.[1] In 2018 and 2019, sod was replaced, the outfield wall was rebuilt, and a new scoreboard was installed while the Hawks played both seasons at Arthur W. Perdue Stadium in Salisbury, Maryland.[3][4] The Hawks 2020 season was also scheduled at Perdue Stadium "while renovations continue[d] at their on-campus facility."[5] No 2021 season was played due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[6] The Hawks 2022 season was also played at Perdue Stadium.[7]
