Wally at the Bat Wiffle Ball Tourney

A symposium at Wabash about baseball just had to include playing a game or two, and a small but enthusiastic group of alumni, faculty, students and staff got together Saturday morning to do just that. Though to call it baseball might be pushing it a bit.

But to call it a fun and collegial way to spend a morning would be an understatement.

Here are a few photos from the first Wally at the Bat Whiffle Ball tournament, won by Lambda Chi, which eliminated the faculty/staff/alumni team in a one game world series that, well, really wasn’t that close.

But fun—as we hope those photos will show. In this, Associate Director of Alumni Affairs (and former Wabash baseball Little Giant) Mike Warren ’93 hits a home run.

Director of Sports Information Brent Harris pitched a game for the alumni/faculty team and added a couple of runs despite playing with a pulled quadracep muscle. The athleticism was extraordinary!

Until Allen connected for what would become a series of home runs…

The sole Beta at the game, Ryan Sosinki took advantage of Allen's early struggles and clearly enjoyed his at-bat.
