Racer Field History & Notes

Racer softball opened its 2010 inaugural season at Racer Softball Field at Murray-Calloway County Park until an on-campus facility could be built.
On March 15, 2014, the Racers opened Racer Field. The facility is located between Roy Stewart Stadium and the Susan E. Bauernfeind Recreation and Wellness Center .
MSU hosted UT Martin in the first game at Racer Field with a 6-1 loss. Jessica Twaddle had the first hit and Mason Robinson threw the first pitch.
MSU scored its first win at Racer Field against Belmont in a 7-2 win on March 23, 2014.
Casey Castile hit the first MSU homerun against Eastern Illinois on March 30, 2014.
Racer Field is a showplace that is one of the finest facilities in the nation.
The deepest part of center field is 220 feet from home plate.
The field uses natural grass and a top-of-the-line dirt surface.
Each of the two dugouts is extremely spacious and features internet connectivity.
A big scoreboard, wind screens and a 250-seat bleacher stands are just some of the touches that make Racer Field a great place.
The perimeter of the park is surrounded by a white fence, reminiscent of the fences that surround horse farms all over the Commonwealth.
The Racers' softball team also enjoys a great locker room in Roy Stewart Stadium. The locker room has wooden lockers for each player and a lounge area for the team to relax in before and after games.
