Through a cooperative arrangement with Lehigh County, the Muhlenberg
College softball and baseball teams play and practice at the Lehigh County
Sports Fields complex, located less than two miles from campus.
The softball field was built in the spring and summer of 2004. The
entire field is enclosed with fencing that gives proper softball
dimensions of 200 feet down the lines and 225 feet to dead center, which
offer some excitement for the long-ball hitters. The red windscreens
add the cardinal touch to the field, and the dugout color scheme fits the
Mule logos just right. The field was equipped with an electronic scoreboard beyond the leftfield fence in 2007.

Across the path is a field the baseball team has called home since 1997.
With dimensions of 340 down the lines, 390 to the power alleys and 410 to
straightaway center, Cedarcreek Field is a good pitchers park, but it
also favors gap hitters, who can find plenty of room in the spacious
outfield. On days when the wind blows out, the fences will seem not so far
away to power hitters. Improvements to the field in 2007 included an electronic scoreboard and the moving of the backstop further away from home plate.
