Middletown native Kyle Schwarber of the Philadelphia Phillies will be a part of the ballpark fun on Wednesday’s episode of ABC’s hit comedy “Abbott Elementary.”

Fittingly titled “Ballgame,” the Oct. 15 episode features the titular teachers celebrating Teachers’ Appreciation Night at Citizens Bank Park, home of the Phillies. The episode was filmed live Aug. 28 when the Phillies faced the Atlanta Braves in front of more than 40,000 fans.

Chris Perfetti, who portrays Jacob Hill, told ESPN the episode was a great start to the acclaimed sitcom’s fifth season.

“I love when we start the season off with a bang, which I feel like this really is,” Perfetti said. “We’re taking big swings, no pun intended, and I think it’s really just a testament to how well the show is working.”
