Field surface: not yet verified
Field surface: not yet verified. The City of Pawtucket says two of the Little League-sized baseball fields (Horan and Ruthowski) were rebuilt with clay infields and the Seastrom field has a stone-dust infield, but it doesn't describe the softball fields' surfaces, so we haven't confirmed them. (11 ballfields in a roughly 200-acre City of Pawtucket park (City of Pawtucket). Most sit in the George Patrick Duffy Complex at the Newport Avenue entrance: McConnon, Cosimini, Costigan, Horan and Ruthowski baseball fields, Bailey youth softball (lighted, 225 feet to center), Kinch youth softball (185 feet to center), Bradley girls softball tee-ball field and the Darlington National and Shea tee-ball fields, with batting cages. Seastrom baseball field sits in the park's historic core off Armistice Boulevard (City of Pawtucket).)
