Long Beach State Sports : Re: Long Beach New Baseball Team

The Pioneer League is mostly made up of teams that reside in Idaho, Montana and Colorado.

I live near Boise and have taken my grandkids to a few of the Boise Hawks games. There is often lots of scoring. One games we attended we left after 5 inn with the score 13-9.

The Long Beach City Council unanimously approved the effort to bring a new independent professional baseball team to the city on Tuesday, including a collaboration between the Long Beach Baseball Club and Long Beach State to make Bohl Diamond at Blair Field its home. The team aims to begin play in the 2026 season, which would begin next May.

The team will be the newest addition to the Pioneer Baseball League (PBL)—an MLB Partner League with 12 teams across the Western U.S. The franchise is backed by Innovation Baseball Partners (IBP), a group that includes members of the Oakland Ballers ownership team.
