New Turf At The Les

Prior to the start of last season, the University of Hawaiʻi Rainbow Warriors baseball team had new turf installed at Les Murakami Stadium. This new turf at "The Les" features two-tone green in the infield and outfield, and dark brown warning track, bases, home plate, and the pitching mound. It also has "Hawai‘i" stitched in behind home plate and an "H" in centerfield. This field was a several years overdue, as the Bows played on the previous turf years past the end-of-life.

This weekend celebrated the induction of Les Murakami into the College Baseball Hall of Fame. A long overdue honor for Coach Les.

Coincidentally, the two video crew are also San Francisco 49ers fans, and happen to be shooting the 49ers cheerleader.
