It was a successful debut Friday for Brenau University's new softball complex as the Golden Tigers took two from Talladega College.
Ernest Ledford Grindle Athletics Park is now the legitimate “home field” for Brenau. The Golden Tigers had previously played on parks and recreation fields in the Gainesville area.
The facility, Phase 1 of a $4.4 million project, is in the New Holland community, about two miles from the historic Brenau campus in Gainesville.
Although the formal dedication will be April 18, there was some fanfare Friday with Brenau President Ed Schrader throwing out the first pitch before about 150 fans on an unseasonably warm, sunny day.
