Brewer Considers Privately Funded Turf To Replace Waterlogged Ballfield

This spring proved challenging for maintaining most baseball fields in northern and eastern Maine. Games were either delayed or moved to the few artificial turf facilities in the region due to weather that often left the natural diamonds wet and muddy. At Brewer High School, it was nothing new. Senior catcher Andrew Kiley played more “home” games for the Witches on the turf at the University of Maine in Orono than at Heddericg Field — located right behind his school — during his recently completed three-year varsity career. He also played more home games at Husson University in Bangor than at Heddericg Field.
