The University of North Carolina softball team will play its first games in its new home on Saturday, hosting South Carolina for a doubleheader. The first pitch is set for 2 p.m.

Here are some recent photos from the new UNC Softball Complex:

Tar Heel players prepare for practice in their new dugout. Kelly Ramsey tries out the water fountain, one of the dugout’s amenities. Players warm up in the batting cages.

Workers prepare to install the scoreboard beyond the left field fence. Carolina will try to keep its hits inside the new foul poles. The press box has been relocated from Finley Field.

Jessica Young, Brandi Griffin, Shannon Walsh and Anna Tharrington get ready to work. Lights at the new field allow for late practices and games. Coach Donna Papa watches batting practice.
