WICHITA, Kan. – Wichita State Baseball will be wearing special edition tribute jerseys for Kaiser Carlile that will be auctioned off on Tue., May 17 against Kansas at 6:30 p.m. at Eck Stadium.
Kaiser was the 9-year old batboy for the Liberal (Kan.) Bee Jays collegiate summer baseball team. Kaiser was accidentally hit in the head during a baseball game in Wichita, Kan., during the 2015 NBC World Series. He was severely injured and passed away the next day.
"What happened last summer just crushed everyone in the state," said Wichita State head baseball coach Todd Butler.
