The 2019 Pacific Association season was the seventh season of the Pacific Association. There was a five team 64 game schedule.
The San Rafael Pacifics entered the season as defending champions, having defeated the Sonoma Stompers 6–0 in the league's 2018 championship game.[2]
They playoffs concluded on September 1, with the San Rafael Pacifics defeating the Sonoma Stompers 2–1 in the championship series, winning their fourth Pacific Association championship.[3]
Team and rule change
The 5 teams in the league played a 64-game schedule. The Salina Stockade were added as a travel team to be the sixth team, but the Pittsburg Diamonds announced they would be going on a hiatus in April just weeks after the Stockade were announced.[4] The Martinez Clippers also folded after the 2018 season.[5]
The Stockade would play as a travel team and play double-headers on Saturdays. The top four teams would qualify for the playoffs with the regular season champion getting a bye to the best-of-three championship series. The third and four seed would play a one-game wild card to advance to the semi-final matchup vs the two seed, which was also a best-of-one.
