KINSTON, North Carolina - The Down East Bird Dawgs are proud to introduce the voices and personalities who will bring energy, excitement, and entertainment to fans throughout their inaugural 2025 season at Historic Grainger Stadium.

Shane 'Sugar' Aube has been named the PA Announcer, Kristopher Dumschat will be the On-Field Emcee, and Spencer Pattison will serve as the Broadcaster.

Aube brings a lot of experience to his role as a sports announcer and host. He was the voice of the Down East Wood Ducks since 2023, adding his distinctive style to the ballpark experience.

During the offseason, Dumschat is a freelance emcee & host for community & charity functions, sporting events, corporate meetings, and more!

Pattison is originally from Denver, Colorado, and has always had a passion for sports. His first summer broadcasting in baseball, he was a Broadcast and Media Relations Intern for the Morehead City Marlins of the Coastal Plain League. Following the completion of the season, he moved to Dallas, Texas, where he broadcasted at the high school, college, and professional levels.
