Dr. Ralph L. Shively Hitting Facility

The Dr. Ralph Shively indoor hitting facility was dedicated during the 2016 season and benefits several teams including baseball and softball. Measuring in at 40' wide x 130' long, the indoor facility includes a 70' hitting cage and another 55' cage with indoor mounds, a 100' net, a carpeted floor and lighting.

The facility is able to be closed or opened during the course of the year with temporary dropped canvas in place for weatherization during the winter months.

Bridgewater's golf teams have recently had the opportunity to practice in the school's new indoor hitting facility as well. Both the men's and women's teams have used the facility, which was built for baseball and softball batting practice but has now proven useful for other varsity squads as well.

"It has really come in handy recently due to the weather," said former head golf coach Lee Williams. "It gives the opportunity to at least hit balls, chip and putt, and this year it has kept us from falling three weeks behind other schools."

"The practice facility on campus really gives us a nice place to play within walking distance of the dorms," said head golf coach John Rogers. "We finally don't have to drive all of the way across town to practice our chip shots and putts, we can walk across campus and have a facility all our own. It's a great addition."
