History

The Pacific West Baseball League (PWBL) was a short-lived, 10-team, wooden bat, collegiate summer baseball league founded in 2009. It was a showcase for top college-level players, giving professional baseball scouts a chance to see prospective pros playing against each other. The PWBL had franchises in Alameda, Atwater, Auburn, Fresno, Lodi, Sacramento, Salinas, San Rafael, San Francisco, and Carson City, Nevada. The PWBL was formed of two divisions, with each franchise playing a 31 game league schedule. The league folded in 2012 and led to the creation of the GSCBL, where many of the teams continued to play.

Current teams

The GSCBL has one division with each franchise playing a 42-game schedule, but the teams are encouraged to play 8 to 10 non-league contests to get around 50 games a season.
