Chippewa Falls LumberJacks Rejoin the CRBL

The Chipppewa Falls Lumbjerjacks have rejoined the Chippewa Rivers Baseball League (CRBL) and will participate in the North Division for the 2020 season.

We are very excited to bring back the Chippewa Falls LumberJacks to the CRBL and the opportunity to offer additional options for players and fans to participate and support local baseball.  We are honored to be included in an amateur baseball league with such great tradition and our players are looking forward to competing against the high level of competition that the CRBL offers. 

Wayne Franz – Chippewa Falls LumberJacks Organizer and Manager

The Chippewa Falls LumberJacks competed in the CRBL from 1983 to 2016.  During that 34 year run, they became one of the most successful and respected amateur baseball teams in the CRBL and across northwest Wisconsin.  As someone who played for Chippewa Falls from 1998 through 2016 and filled the responsibility of player/manager from 2006 through 2016, I’m very glad to see the organization return.

Chippewa Falls was home to the Chippewa Falls LumberJacks from 1983 to 2016. The LumberJacks team was shifted to Eau Claire and became the Eau Claire Rivermen in 2017.

Wayne Franz has invested legitimate time and resources in to making this happen, and he should be commended for starting a new chapter in the proud history of the LumberJacks as well as that of the CRBL.
