Far West League (collegiate summer baseball league)
From BR Bullpen
The Far West League (FWL) was a collegiate summer baseball league based on the west coast of the United States that served primarily California and Oregon. It was formed as part of a merger between the West Coast League/Tri-State and Pacific West Baseball League, even though the PWBL is still in operation. Play began in 2011 with each team facing each of the other teams three times for 27 regular-season league games. Post-season play saw the top five teams in a nine-game double-elimination tournament with the Humboldt Crabs winning both the 2011 and 2012 championship.
The league lasted two summers, 2011 & 2012, before folding in the beginning of 2013.
