Winston-Salem Dash News Release
WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. (July 30, 2014) - The Winston-Salem Dash and Flow Chevrolet have announced that South Little League in Winston-Salem has won the 2014 Diamond in the Rough Ballpark Renovation.
A groundbreaking ceremony to kick off refurbishments on the facility's primary field will be held this Friday at 10:30 a.m. at South Little League's facilities off West Clemmonsville Road. Dash owner Billy Prim, along with several Dash players and front office members, will be in attendance.
Dash grounds crew members and Flow Automotive employees are expected to complete the necessary repairs and upgrades during the first full week in August. South Little League officials will be honored at BB&T Ballpark on Thursday, August 14, when the Dash host the Lynchburg Hillcats.
The Diamond in the Rough Ballpark Renovation contest, which ran from July 4 through July 23, invited area Little Leagues and softball leagues to submit videos to the Dash social media accounts on Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and Instagram to show why their field is deserving of a makeover.
This marks the first year of the program. It follows similar baseball and softball field renovation programs that exist in both Major League Baseball and Minor League Baseball.
The Dash wrap up their three-game series with the Frederick Keys on Thursday at 7 p.m. at BB&T Ballpark. To purchase tickets and learn more about the numerous upcoming promotions, visit wsdash.com or call (336) 714-2287.
