Wright State to Host 2006 Horizon League Baseball Championship

Nov. 9, 2005

INDIANAPOLIS -- Wright State University will serve as the host for the 2006 Horizon League Baseball Championship, the League office announced Wednesday (Nov. 9).

The League's six schools sponsoring the sport---Butler University, Cleveland State University, the University of Illinois at Chicago, the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, Youngstown State University and Wright State---converge on Nischwitz Stadium for the five-day event, which begins on Wednesday, May 24, and runs through Sunday, May 28.

The League champion earns an automatic berth into the NCAA Tournament. UIC captured that honor last season, outlasting UW-Milwaukee 9-6 in the championship showdown at Victory Field in Indianapolis.
