The LSUS baseball team will be inducted into the Northwest Louisiana Walk of Stars in a ceremony on its campus Thursday at noon at the University Center Mall.
The Pilots became the first team in college baseball history to complete a perfect season as LSUS went 59-0 en route to the university’s first NAIA national championship in any sport.
Instead of the traditional handprints in concrete, a concrete mold of home plate with 59-0 will be awarded before making its way to the Walk of Stars under the Texas Street Bridge in the Red River Entertainment District downtown.
The induction ceremony, and the Walk of Stars, is presented by Walk-Ons Shreveport.
ABOUT WALK OF STARS: The Walk of Stars award was created to recognize individuals from northwest Louisiana who are distinguished in their professional and/or civic endeavors or who have brought recognition and attention to the area. The honorees may come from any profession or industry including, but not limited to, athletics, music, acting, business, politics, education and community service.
