Boosters pay for Norwin baseball field improvements
Norwin’s high school baseball facilities will get a new scoreboard, flag pole and storage shed through money raised by the baseball team’s booster group.
The school board authorized administrators to buy the $20,000 scoreboard from OES Inc. of London, Ontario. Het Construction Corp. of Irwin will install it free of charge.
Norwin will buy a flag pole from Ward Building and Highway Specialties Inc. of McKeesport. Het Construction will supply and install a storage shed at the baseball field for $1,100.
The Norwin Boys Baseball Booster club will cover all of the associated costs.
Brandon Rapp, Norwin athletic director, said other improvements are being considered for the near future, including a sound system for the softball field and practice pitching areas.
The booster groups for both the softball and baseball teams have ongoing fundraising efforts, Rapp said.
