Baseball greats return for Wichita State’s weekend series

Wichita State will try to stay out of the Missouri Valley Conference baseball cellar as it remembers its greatest triumphs.

It’s Legends Weekend at Eck Stadium, with many prominent former Shockers returning. The former players will be introduced in between games of Friday’s doubleheader. On Saturday, the first 1,200 fans will receive a 1989 College World Series pennant. The trophy is available for pictures.

Those scheduled to attend include Kevin Hooper, Braden Looper, P.J. Forbes, Jaime Bluma, Chris Wimmer, Charlie O’Brien, Russ Morman, Bryan Oelkers, Mike Drumright and Nate Robertson.

WSU (18-21, 3-6 Missouri Valley Conference) is in seventh place after losing five of its past six MVC games.
