Home Field Advantage: Ross, Kalamazoo Open Wildcard Series with Win
The Kalamazoo Hullabaloo powered past the visiting Knoxville Running Rebels, 7-2, in the opener of the Wildcard Series at The Zoo today. Kalamazoo starting pitcher Phil Ross threw 7 innings of 6-hit ball, to lead the charge. The Hullabaloo now lead the series 1-0.

Astolfo Coronel aided the Kalamazoo cause with a grand slam home run in the bottom of the sixth. For the game, the first baseman was 1-4 with a home run, while adding 4 RBI and scoring once.

"There was a kid in the stands with a sign that said 'Kalamazoo Hullabaloo (probably) 2025 World Series Champions'," Ross told reporters after the game. "I told him, 'Premature, but I like the confidence.'"

Game 2 is scheduled for Thursday, October 9th, 2025 at The Zoo. Slated to start are Ed Aitken for the Running Rebels and Phil Ross for the Hullabaloo.
