I didn't realize they had a synthetic field. Just wonder if the ball takes a faster bounce on that stuff? Will be interesting to see if the fielding errors drop in Knoxville.

We've sucked all year. Sub-par at 2nd, SS, and 3rd (barely). Catcher is a strength and 1st is a slight strength - good, but not as good as the talking points imply.

Tennessee has the same turf field.

Yes, synthetic is faster than grass and even worse, a ball often has some spin that can make it do crazy things, like putting "English" on a billiard ball. The ball hit to third in the last inning of the final would probably have been an out on grass but the spin off the bat of a lefty hitter caused it to jump to Doughty's right. All baseball fields should be very good natural grass, but upkeep and groundskeeping cost and the advent of domed stadiums ...
