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.
