MARQUETTE — Safety concerns have led Marquette Little League officials to renovate baseball Field No. 3 at the North Marquette Athletic Complex.


Together with the construction of a new batting cage and work on existing bullpen areas, the total cost of the project is $11,450.


League president Herman Eleby said Cleveland-Cliffs Inc. is funding the batting cage. The remaining cost is being covered by the league, primarily through candy and apparel sales.


Marquette Fence Co. Inc. is doing the work.   


Fencing is being replaced on both sides of the Major League (ages 11-12) backstop behind home plate. It will increase the height of the protective covering from 10 feet to 20 feet at a cost of $3,750.
