Marquette native Adam Hamari will work in the National League Championship Series that begins Monday night between the Arizona Diamondbacks and Philadelphia Phillies.

Hamari, who is erroneously referred to in this Associated Press story as Adrian Hamari, begins in right field in Game 1.

The listed rotation indicates that he would rotate positions in the field to become the home plate umpire for Game 7 if that game is necessary in this best-of-7 series.

In the wild-card first round of this year’s playoffs, Hamari was assigned to an American League series between the Toronto Blue Jays and Minnesota Twins, rotating to home plate for Game 2 of the best-of-3.

In the LCS, Dan Iassogna will be umpire crew chief for the NL series, while James Hoye heads the group working the American League series between Houston and Texas.

Seven-man crews will work each series, with one umpire off each game, Major League Baseball said Friday.

Andy Fletcher will work the plate in Monday’s NL opener, with Iassogna at first, Mike Muchlinski at second, Lance Barksdale at third, Tripp Gibson in left and Hamari in right. Carlos Torres will call balls and strikes in the second game, followed by Iassogna, Muchlinski, Barksdale, Gibson and Hamari.

Stu Scheurwater will be behind the plate for Sunday’s AL opener, with Hoye at first, Doug Eddings at second, Marvin Hudson at third, Jordan Baker in left and Dan Bellino in right. Mark Ripperger will call balls and strikes in Game 2, followed by Hoye, Eddings, Hudson, Baker and Bellino.

All LCS umpires worked in Wild Card Series.

Mike Estabrook, Jeremie Rehak and Chris Segal will be the replay umpires at the video center in the commissioner’s office.
