The PWBL had franchises in Alameda, Atwater, Auburn, Fresno, Lodi, Sacramento, Salinas, San Rafael, San Francisco and Carson City, Nevada. These franchises were the backbone of the Pacific West Baseball League and its foundation now and in the future. The PWBL were formed of two divisions with each franchise playing a 31 game league schedule. There will be a season ending championship series to crown the PWBL champion during the last week of July and first week of August.
