KOKOMO STADIUM NAMED BEST COLLEGIATE BALLPARK

Kokomo Municipal Stadium, home of the Prospect League’s Kokomo Jackrabbits, was named best summer-collegiate ballpark after five rounds of voting at Ballparkdigest.com. The Best of the Ballparks competition saw more than 70,000 people cast ballots in the online contest.

Ballpark Digest publisher Kevin Reichard says a new ballpark for summer collegiate ball is unusual.

Other Indiana ballparks fared well in the Best of the Ballparks competition. Victory Field, home of the Triple A Indianapolis Indians finished in the top four. In Low Single A, Four Winds Field, home field of the South Bend Cubs, also was a final four finisher. Parkview Field, home of the Fort Wayne Tincaps, finished in the top eight.
