Blind baseball teams to compete for national title this weekend
Today at the Holcom Sports Complex, 25th and Crestline Drive, ten beep baseball teams from around the country are competing in the National Beep Baseball World Series. The tournament continues through Sunday.
Beep baseball is a game especially constructed for the blind. To score a run, a batter must hit a beep baseball at least 30 feet from home plate and reach a buzzing base before a defensive player fields the ball.
Each beep baseball team consists of five fielder, who are blind or blind-folded, a sighted pitcher and a catcher.
Lawrence's team, the Quarrill Raiders, played their first game at nine a.m. today.
Charles Vassallo, Lawrence senior and a member of the team, is president of the National Beep Baseball Association.
Other members of the team are Nancy Steinhauser, Lawrence senior, Charles Hallenbock, professor of psychology,

THE TOURNAMENT is sponsored by University of Kansas department of health, physical education and recreation, the Kansas Association for the Blind, Lawrence Jayces, Lawrence Lions, Fraternity of America Amateur Radio Club, Broadcast Optimists and the Lawrence Park and Recreation Department and the Telephone Pioneers, veteran telephone company employees.
Marshall, who played with the Houston Astros before he was blinded in an auto-attack, had received support from many people in Lawrence civic organizations.
