The 2018 Northwoods League All-Star Game will be hosted in Kalamazoo on Tuesday, July 24 at Homer Stryker Field. The Northwoods League All-Star Game brings together the top talent from across the League as voted on by League coaches and media, with the best of the South Division facing off against the best of the North Division, and will be preceded by a Home Run Derby.
This marquee event takes on special significance this year as the Northwoods League is celebrating its 25th Season. The event will include a banquet honoring the All-Star Players from across the Northwoods League, sponsored by Discover Kalamazoo.
The traditional lineup of events features the addition of a Kids Home Run Challenge presented by Cole Automotive.
