A temporary fence in a state championship HS game? That's the part I have a hard time believing.

Not sure that is as uncommon as you might think. Here in Georgia, all 6 classes (7 next year) bring their Final 8 to the South Commons Complex in Columbus, GA, the site of the 1996 Olympics. The 8 fields were built for the 8 teams competing in the Olympics (each team had a personal practice field), but are all 300' fences to accommodate slowpitch, too.

Georgia has had temporary fences from the beginning of fastpitch softball as a high school sport (played Finals in another complex in Marietta before South Commons was built).

In many places, needed for large seating fields.
