Dear Hornet Alum,

As the summer draws to an end and classes are getting started, the ESU baseball team begins the process of returning to the NCAA Championships. We are looking forward to raising the bar once again for the 2010 season. I am very excited for this team because we have a chance to make another run at the 2010 NCAA World Series.

In 2009, the Hornets posted 49 wins, captured the MIAA Regular Season Championship, South Central Regional Championship, and National Runner-Up. The 2009 team finished #2 in the country. This was the 6 th year in a row to make Regionals and 2 nd time to advance to the College World Series. The Hornets are one of two MIAA schools to consecutively compete in the NCAA Regionals since ESU joined the conference in 1993. The current success has given us a taste for more and we are eager to make another run at the College World Series. We have a solid group of returning players along with strong recruiting class. With the returning group of players and the new recruits Hornet baseball will again be exciting to watch this upcoming season.

Please join us on October 9-11 for an Alumni Weekend to reunite and show these new players what it means to be a Hornet. We have planned an alumni game, picnic, and golf tournament. Please return the attached reservation sheet by September30 th. If you have any questions or want to make reservations by phone, please contact me at (620) 341-5930. If you are unable to attend but would like to help the program by giving a donation, please return the attached information sheet. We strive to continue expanding our level of achievement in the future with assistance from you. We look forward to seeing you at the Baseball Alumni Weekend to kick off another great year!

Sincerely,

Bob Fornelli
