New baseball, softball fields for family athletes

As I promised last week, here are more "renovations" of the sports facilities surrounding the campus of the Meadow School, an actual school for local children in rural Johnston County, NC and about four miles from where my extended family characters would live.

The Blackies' baseball team would play on the field shown on the top of the page.  The changes from the original image I found on Google include a new infield with grass replacing dirt inside, re-sodding of all grass areas, a refurbished outfield wall, installation of bases, a scoreboard with space for local sponsors (there are two here, Barefoot's Auto Mart and Belk), and a pine forest past the outfield.

The softball team, of which Harvey is part (as mentioned here and here) and which might be coed (haven't decided yet, but it would be interesting) is on the field shown at bottom.  I made fewer changes, but bases and a new scoreboard were installed.
