Kinston Indians News Release
Kinston, NC - Chris Hemeyer is stepping down as the voice of the K-Tribe to take a job at Campbell University. Hemeyer is in his sixth season as Director of Broadcasting and Public Relations with the Kinston Indians.
"It has been a fantastic experience here in Kinston," said Hemeyer. "I have been fortunate to work with great people not only within the K-Tribe organization, but also with the Cleveland Indians. This town and this team mean a lot to me and I will always be grateful for the opportunity."
Hemeyer started with the K-Tribe in December of 2005. Over the last six seasons, he has called more than 750 games for the K-Tribe.
"Chris has been an incredible asset to our organization over the last 6 years, and we will surely miss his dedication and work ethic," said K-Tribe General Manager Benjamin Jones. "We are extremely happy for him and wish him well in his new endeavors."
Hemeyer will stay in North Carolina, moving to Campbell University where he will be the Athletics Marketing Coordinator and Voice of the Camels. Hemeyer will serve as the play-by-play announcer for Fighting Camel football and men's basketball radio broadcasts. He will also oversee Campbell's web streaming, while producing marketing and promotional videos for the athletics department.
Hemeyer's last game with the K-Tribe will be this Sunday. Connor Shreve will take over as the lead play-by-play voice for the Kinston Indians.
