Royal Oak, MI, January 10, 2025 \u2013 The Northwoods League released its complete schedule for the 2025 season. The summer slate features 24 teams and will begin summer collegiate baseball\u2019s most extensive schedule on Monday, May 26.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Northwoods League\u2019s 32nd<\/sup>\u00a0season is a testament to our dedication to both the development of collegiate athletes and the communities we serve,\u201d said Ryan Voz, President\/Commissioner of the Northwoods League. \u201cThis year\u2019s schedule not only highlights our tradition of excellence but also our continued efforts to innovate and enhance the fan experience. We can\u2019t wait to welcome fans back to the ballparks for another unforgettable summer of baseball.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

The Royal Oak Leprechauns Opening Day is set for Monday, May 26th<\/sup>. The 72-game season schedule<\/a> features 36 home dates at Memorial Park – #TheLuckyCorner at 13 Mile and Woodward. Opening Week features six straight games as the 2024 NWL Champion Kalamazoo Growlers come to town for a two-game Opening Day set. The Traverse City Pit Spitters and Kenosha Kingfish each follow with two game sets as well for Opening Week.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur inaugural season was incredible and we\u2019re getting ready for an even bigger and better second season,\u201d General Manager and Owner Mark Sackett said. \u201cWe have great in-state rivalry matchups with Traverse City, Kalamazoo and Battle Creek. And we can\u2019t wait to take on the rest of the league. We\u2019ve been working this off-season to improve upon our already FANtastic experience at #TheLuckyCorner for 2025.\u201d<\/p>\n

The League, which plays two halves to determine playoff participants, will end the first half of play on June 30 with the second half beginning the following day. This season will see interleague play continue as teams in the Great Plains Division will face teams in the Great Lakes Division throughout the season.<\/span><\/p>\n

The League will continue with the same playoff format that was adopted for the 2019 season. First and second-half sub-divisional winners in the Great Lakes and Great Plains divisions will be eligible for the playoffs. In the event the second-half sub-divisional winner also won the first half, the team in the sub-division with the highest overall winning percentage will also make the playoffs. The two playoff-eligible teams in each sub-division will compete in a best of three Sub-Divisional Series. The two Sub-Divisional Series winners will then play a one-game Divisional Championship Game. Then the two Divisional Game winners will play a one-game League Championship.<\/span><\/p>\n
