In April of 1998 we played our first US tournament (ISA) in Auburndale, Florida (staying in St. Pete Beach). Although it was a challenge (with a 3-11' arc & base stealing), we really enjoyed ourselves. The Fields at the Auburndale Softball Complex have Bermuda turf, large covered dugouts with water fountains and phones to the press box. All five fields are named after citrus, "Citrus" , "Navel ","Tangalo", "Temple", and Valencia Fields, have 305 ft. fences that are 8ft high (with alligators in the moat outside the fence). Needless to say we were in heaven (unless you had to get a home run ball). Our thanks go out to Russell Burney, the convenor and Terry Descin, who helped put the US part of the team together.
