July 1, 2010 - Frontier League (FL)
Kalamazoo Kings News Release
KALAMAZOO - After a disappointing start to the 2010 season, the Kalamazoo Kings relieved the coaching staff from their positions on Wednesday and elevated player/coach Matt Maloney to interim player/manager. Veteran pitcher Tyler Herron will work alongside Maloney as interim pitching coach. The team was 7-31 up to the change after having the best record in the Frontier League the past two seasons.
Matt, 26, is an Auburndale, FL native and has over 4 years of professional experience in independent baseball. He is looking forward to this opportunity.
"This is an unfortunate circumstance for me to take over. I have the utmost respect for Jamie and Brian. I wish them the best. At the same time I am eager and excited to turn our season around."
The Kings are home through the 4th of July with each game starting at 7:05pm. Fireworks will be on Sunday following the game and are presented by the Kalamazoo Amateur Athletic Federation.
The Kings are a part of the Frontier League, a 12-team independent professional baseball league.
