With the help of the Sisters of Mercy Mainentaince Staff we were able to install the new backstop padding that was ordered in the late Fall.  I can't thank them enough for their help with our newest field enhancement.  Maintaining the field seems like a full time job, and we are consently looking to improve it each and every year.

In November approximately $2,500.00 worth of new strength training equipment was delivered to the Mercy Fitness Center.  The new equipment included:

• Additional Dumbbell Set and Rack - 5lbs. to 50lbs.
• New Lat Pulldown Machine
• 300lbs. of additional free weights
• New free weight tree
• New Accessory Rack

The new equipment and the reorganization of the fitness center will make it more efficient for the softball program to continue to lead the way in strength training and off field development at Mercy.

It's been a very busy summer renovating the Mercy Softball Field.  Last week, we just completed the following renovations:

1. Rebuilt the warming track and added new track mix
2. Aerated and seeded the outfield
3. Rebuilt and leveled the infield, adding new clay and 35 ton of new infield mix.
4. Reedged the baselines and lip between the infield and outfield.

The work completed continues our mission of having one of the finest softball complexes in Monroe County and beyond
