Louisville, Ky. - The National Fastpitch Coaches Association has named the home of Renegade Softball, the Dean and Adah Gay Sports Complex, as the 2019 Turface Athletics / NFCA Field of the Year award for the California Junior College level.

This award, made possible by NFCA Official Sponsor Turface Athletics, recognizes the top fields/stadiums in the nation for their flawless grounds maintenance and exceptional playing surfaces. The winners are selected by the NFCA Awards Committee.

Built in 2010, the Dean and Adah Gay Sports Complex recently received an upgrade in 2018 with the addition of 78 tons of Pro Gold Infield Mix. This was a gamechanger as it improved the look and the play of the field. It didn't stop there. In 2019, new back stop padding was added prior to the season with new back stop netting and graphics completed this summer, which has enhanced the stadium's look. The home of the Renegades is maintained by Albert Castillo and Megan Rowe and has hosted the Kern County All-Star game and the Lead-Off Tournament that included two-time state champion Mt. San Antonio, along with San Mateo and Santiago Canyon.

Including this last year's California Community College State Championships (CCCAA), the field has now also hosted the CCCAA State Softball Championships nine times since it's completion in 2010. 

Also garnering recognition are Jane Sanders Stadium (University of Oregon), Triton Softball Field (University of California San Diego), Hoff Field/Luther College Softball Stadium, Grizzly Softball Complex (Georgia Gwinnett), Lady Viking Field (Grayson County College), and The Rock Softball Complex (Strong Rock Christian School).
