WKU Baseball Announces Exhibition Game Against Louisville Slugger Warriors

BOWLING GREEN, Ky. – WKU Baseball announces an exhibition bout with the Louisville Slugger Warriors set for October 11 at 1 p.m. CT at Nick Denes Field.

The Louisville Slugger Warriors – the first and only competitive amputee baseball team in the country compiled of retired members of the armed forces and former NCAA athletes – will visit The Hill for a two-day event from Oct. 10-11 during its multi-city national tour.

On Friday, October 10, WKU will host an exclusive screening of the Warriors' winning documentary, Curveballs… Secrets to the Game of Life. Each player in the film has overcome life-changing physical challenges, from combat injuries and accidents to congenital conditions and childhood illness. Some team members wear prosthetics while others play with missing limbs or implanted supports. Together, they show that neither the game nor the human spirit has limits. There will be a Q&A with the team afterwards. This event is free and open to the public. It will start at 6 p.m. in the Jody Richards Auditorium on WKU's campus.

The Warriors visit on The Hill will culminate with a scrimmage against the Hilltopper Baseball team on Saturday, October 11. Everyone is invited to Nick Denes Field at 1 p.m. to watch the exhibition. Admission is free, but there are reserved and VIP seats available for purchase starting today. Proceeds from reserve tickets and community donations will support WKU scholarships and local youth baseball.
