SPRINGFIELD — Last year, Joshua Frometa hit a home run when playing in front of the Walker Memorial Grandstand. This year, his team, the Westfield Starfires, returns to the field where there is now a fence that he can hit a second homer over.
On Monday, city officials joined with the collegiate Westfield Starfires in Forest Park to celebrate the $4 million rebuilding of the 1946 field and grandstand that includes a new roof, new masonry, new handicap accessible restrooms, new dugouts and the fence.
