In honor of the 1989 Shocker Baseball Team, remembered for its determination and never-say-die attitude. Its gritty character was never more evident than during post-season tournament competition when it overcame injuries to key players and won six elimination contests with a makeshift lineup to become the first Wichita State University team to win an NCAA championship.
