Wichita Wolf Pack State Champions

The Wichita Wolf Pack scored two runs in the bottom of the 7th to complete a comeback victory over the Wichita Grays.  The Grays bolted to a 9-1 lead after 3 innings only to fall victim to an 8 run rally by the Wolf Pack in the 4th.  With one out and scored tied in the 5th, the Grays had runners at second and third.  A deep fly down the left field line was reeled in on a horizontal diving catch worthy of any highlight collection.  Though it produced one run for the Grays to go ahead, it kept the inning from exploding further.  The Grays and Wolf Pack did no more scoring until the Wolf Pack struck for the two winning runs in the bottom of the 7th.

Field Location and General Conditions  

The SouthLakes Softball Complex at 5300 S. Meridian might perhaps be the closest candidate in the City of Wichita that qualifies as a modern regional youth baseball facility.  Though designed for softball use it has been found that certain age groups can adequately play baseball.

Gate Fees
     
A $200 pre-paid team gate fee will be required.  Checks can be made payable to Northeast Baseball and Softball Association and presented at team check-in.  Parents, grandparents, siblings, and all visitors are allowed full and unrestricted entry. 

Umpires

Northeast Baseball and Softball Association umpires will be handling the officiating under the supervision of Robert Sinks.  Don't be surprised to see three or four man crews even in the early rounds.  We are as proud of our developing umpire corps as each coach is of their teams. 

Staff

The participation of many visiting college athletes will keep the scoring of games and announcing of line-ups exciting and lively. 
If experiences since 2008 has taught us anything it is that large numbers of volunteers and staff members are necessary to host.   With daily rain a possibility, the actions of parents, players, and coaches assisting with rakes can make even the most delayed schedules possible.          

Awards

First and second place individual trophies will be awarded.  First and Second place team trophies will also be awarded.  A team trophy for the B bracket will also be awarded.  Another pleasant surprise in our experiences is that the hardware we've handed out has been well liked.  Many of the teams making the advanced circuit have become accustomed to minimal trophies or none at all when competing at the higher levels.

T-Shirts

Commemorative t-shirts will be available.  Contibutions by Papa John's Pizza and the Genghis Grill have made the production of multi-colored high quality shirts possible. The best prices on shirts for players, parents, and coaches will be attained by purchasing as a group of five or more.  Team names will be incorporated into the design to make a cherished momento. 

Parking

Please enter the park from S. Meridian.  Access from 47th St. through the soccer complex is not possible.  If there is a drawback to the complex it is the distance from the parking lot to the grandstands.  Please take this fact into consideration.
