• Jodie Marchman Throws First Pitch

  To highlight the collaborative spirit behind Jodie Marchman Field, in Wednesday’s game there was a symbolic first pitch thrown by Jodie Marchman himself. Jodie’s hard work and dedication to the program included nearly 8 years of countless volunteer hours grooming and taking care of the field for the girl’s softball team. Jodie’s two daughters (Leslie and Peyton) both played in the softball program. Thanks to his time, sweat and hard work he has been one of the reasons why Episcopal owns the best field in town. Also, a special thanks goes out to Mike Jones and the rest of the crew for continuing to take care of the field and the softball program.
