This article is about the baseball team. For the 1800s military outpost, see Salina Stockade.
The Salina Stockade were a professional baseball team based in Salina, Kansas that began play in 2016. From 2017-2019 it was a traveling team which competed in various leagues when a league has an uneven number of teams. For the 2020 and 2021 seasons they returned to the Pecos League where they originally played before again leaving for the 2022 season only participating in the spring league.[1]
The Stockade played the 2017 season as a road franchise, with only sixteen home games at Dean Evans Stadium.[5][6][7]
The team played a similar schedule in 2018, traveling to play each of the six teams in the Can-Am League.
In 2019, the Stockade joined The Western League a four-week winter organization, as a charter team. On March 31, 2019 it was announced that they would traveling to play each of the teams in the Pacific Association.[8]
In 2020, the Stockade returned as a member of the Western League, and played games out of Bakersfield, California. It was later announced they'd be activated for the 2020 Pecos League season; the Stockade competed as one of four teams in the Mountain Division for the condensed 60-game season (due to the COVID-19 pandemic). All games were played at Coastal Baseball Park in Houston, Texas. The Stockade lost in the Championship series to the Tucson Saguaros 2 games to 0.
The Pecos League announced in February 2021 that the Stockade would return as a full member following improvements to Dean Evans Stadium, which included installation of artificial turf. However, the franchise did not play any home games in Salina during the 2021 season, instead hosting seven home games at El Dorado's McDonald Stadium and six in Colby.[9]
Following the season, the team was dropped from the Pecos League lineup. The club will only compete in the Pecos Spring League (formerly known as the Western League) during the 2022 season, which will be hosted at Coastal Baseball Park in Houston.
