We have probably one of (if the not the easiest) field in all of college baseball to maintain with weather. A tarp over the mound and also in the bullpens, that's pretty much it. And during the last game that it needed a tarp, the grounds crew was Tanner and 2 other players. They had dry unis on 10 minutes later.
Back when the field was still astroturf and we had dirt around the bases, pear burners (propane torches) would be used after rainstorms to dry the dirt around the bags. During the the 93 Regional against USC (Aaron Boone was their 3rd baseman) torches were needed after a squall moved thru and dumped a couple of inches in a matter of a 1/2 hr....The whole USC team had their cameras out taking pics while they were using the torches.
Fun Fact of that Regional...
After the rain moved thru the temp dropped from a scorching 95 to a very pleasant 74. Texas was down 2-1 in the 9th and needed to win to avoid a winner take all 2nd game (Championship) against USC. With 2 men on, someone hit a pretty routine ground ball to Boone but it hit one of the seams of the turf and bounced over his left shoulder allowing the winning runs to score and Texas went to Omaha again. 🤘 Gus stated after the game that he was already thinking of his lineup for game 2 when that hit went over Boone's shoulder.
