The longest first pitch in West Jordan was marked on Friday, March 8, when Salt Lake Community College President Deneece G. Hutflalin, along with Facility folks, Arch|Nexus Architects and Tom Stuart Construction, threw the ceremonial pitch that marked the new era for the SLCC Bruins.

The Bruins hosted its first doubleheader against the College of Southern Idaho after the field's recent renovations. The project consisted of three significant additions to enhance the experience of athletes and patrons. The first was the locker room and athletic training area. The second facility is the concessions building, which includes the ticket office and restrooms. The last building is the press box.

Brock Whetman, from the SLCC Facilities department and Cate Baseball Field's project manager, said, "I am incredibly proud of my team for their dedication throughout this project. This undertaking is a testament to the collaboration between all Facilities teams, from custodians to carpenters and everyone in between, and the IT department to ensure these facilities were up and running. I could not be more grateful to work with such a wonderful and talented group of individuals."
