An empty C.O. Brown Stadium will be filled again with the familiar sounds of baseball this summer as the Battle Creek Bombers are set to return home for the first time since 2019.
After a shortened season that involved shifting a current team to play at Homer Stryker Field, turning a one-game promotion into a third team and scheduling shorter five inning contests with double-headers (and some triple-headers), the Kalamazoo Growlers will be back to normal in 2021.
A few changes have come to the Northwoods League for 2019, and it is all for the better for the sustainability of the league and the Battle Creek Bombers.
