WICHITA, Kan. - Wichita State baseball will be hosting its annual Alumni Weekend Oct. 8-9 with a bit of a new twist.

The golf tournament will be held on Fri., Oct. 8 with two separate tee times (morning/afternoon) to not only accommodate more golfers, but to avoid potential logjams on certain holes.  The morning golfers will go off at 7:30 a.m., while the afternoon golfers will tee off at 1:30 p.m.  Lunch and dinner will be served and the prizes will still be in the evening in the All-American Club.

In addition to the bigger and better golf event, Saturday's festivities will be must-see also.  At noon there will be a celebrity softball game featuring local and regional celebrities, as well as the best Shocker baseball players in the program's history.  At 2 p.m. will be a Shocker Fall World Series game between the Black and the Gold. 

Later in the evening will be a dinner and auction in the Preferred Health Systems Multi-Purpose Center featuring former Shocker All-American and 2007 American League Manager of the Year Eric Wedge as the keynote speaker. 

Proceeds from the golf tournament and auction will mostly go to the Carl Hall Fund with the rest for Shocker travel costs.
