On December 13, 2023, six long-standing collegiate summer baseball teams, the Healdsburg Prune Packers, Humboldt Crabs, Lincoln Potters, Medford Rogues, Solano Mudcats and West Coast Kings came together to form the new Pacific Empire League. Teams in the PEL will play a 55-game regular season that will culminate in a 3-game Championship Series.[1][2][3][4] The league is designated as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization represented by engaged, productive, and committed Board Representatives from each member team.[5]
