Sehmel Homestead Park tournament guide

Field surface: Turf infields
Turf infields. PenMet Parks rents the baseball field and the softball fields here as fields "with turf infields and dugouts." Its state grant file says the dirt infields on all three baseball/softball fields were converted to synthetic turf. GSL Tournaments' field list also rates Sehmel Park as turf. We haven't found an official note on the outfields, so expect turf infields and check your field if outfield surface matters. (3 diamonds with synthetic turf infields: one 375-foot baseball field (Gig Harbor Little League's 90-foot diamond) and two 300-foot combination baseball/softball fields)
