History

The Lumberjacks were members of the Pacific Association of Professional Baseball Clubs in 2013, playing their home games at Laney College in Oakland. They were the only franchise in the league to share a location with a Major League Baseball club, the Oakland Athletics, though they are not affiliated with either MLB or Minor League Baseball. Prior to their entrance into professional ranks, they were founded as a semi-pro team affiliated with the Sacramento Rural League in 2009 by Thomas Macari and Scott Price

After a 7–29 Pacific Association season,[1] The team did not return for the 2014 season, and were replaced in the league by the Pittsburg Mettle.

In Winter 2014 the Lumberjacks joined the four-team San Francisco Money League, playing a schedule from November to February. Finishing 7-1 in the regular season the Lumberjacks defeated Castro Valley Braves in a best-of 3 championship series.[2]
