South Salem’s baseball field vandalized by pickup truck

By

Gilmore Field, where South Salem High School plays its baseball games, was torn up on Monday evening, leaving deep tire marks along the infield and out into the grass.

According to South Salem coach Max Price, the damage was done by local teenagers who were driving in a pickup truck.

Gilmore Field is not on the South Salem High School campus, sitting less than a mile southeast of the school.

A GoFundMe has been started to help the school raise money for repairs to the field, as well as potentially installing a fence at Gilmore Field to insure that vehicles can’t get onto the field in the future.
