Brazos Valley Bombers

The Brazos Valley Bombers are a collegiate summer baseball team based in Bryan, Texas, in the United States. The Bombers are owned by Uri Geva and are members of the Texas Collegiate League. From the 2007 season to the present, the Bombers have played their home games at Nutrabolt Stadium (formerly Travis Field).

The team name comes from the original Bryan Bombers, a 1940s member of the Class C Lone Star League, and the Brazos Valley (the geographic region of Texas centered on the Bryan – College Station metropolitan area).

In August 2013, the Bombers finished atop Perfect Game's Summer Collegiate Team Rankings earning the title of National Champions of Summer Collegiate Baseball. In 2014 the Bombers became the first Texas Collegiate League team to win back to back Championships, with a final record of 45-15. They added their third straight title in 2015 with a record of 45-9. In 2016 the Bombers have had an unprecedented TCL 21 game win streak and broke the record for the most stolen bases in a season with 161.
