Reminder.....do not hang the tarps on fences  !!!    When they are removed, they snag on the fence and get damaged.

    Just a reminder, there is absolutely no parking at Pingry field.  That goes for Managers, Coaches, Umpires, and fans.  We use the field at the pleasure of Pingry School and that is the rule.
