History

In the team's first season it won the Futures Collegiate Baseball League's West Division. In the playoffs it won its quarterfinal and semifinal games, advancing to the best-of-three league championship series against the defending champion Worcester Bravehearts. The teams split the first two games and were tied after nine innings in the third, at Muzzy Field, but the Bravehearts scored two runs in the top of the tenth to repeat as champions.[3]

For the 2020 season, the Bristol Blues changed leagues, moving from the Futures Collegiate Baseball League to the New England Collegiate Baseball League.[4]

gollark: When the next disaster rolls around, people are probably going to complain that insurance doesn't cover that either, because they didn't think of it or something.
gollark: It's also because people respond weirdly strongly to just trying to define things as other things.
gollark: They're both terrible.
