The Dubois County Bombers are a collegiate summer league baseball team of the Prospect League. They are located in Huntingburg, Indiana, and play their home games at League Stadium. The Bombers and other collegiate summer leagues and teams exist to give top college players a professional-like experience without affecting NCAA eligibility.
The Bombers play in the Prospect League's Eastern Conference – Central Division along with the Danville Dans, Decatur Bean Ballers, Springfield Lucky Horseshoes, and Terre Haute Rex.
History The Bombers franchise began in 1998 in the city of Alton, Illinois, where they were named the Bluff City Bombers. The Bombers played in the Central Illinois Collegiate League (CICL) with their home games, at the time, being played at Lloyd Hopkins Field, which eventually became the home of the Alton River Dragons of the Prospect League.
After the 2004 season, the franchise relocated to Huntingburg, Indiana, where they would play their future home games at League Stadium. The team remained a member of the CICL until the league ceased operations and became the Prospect League in 2009.
It would be announced after the conclusion of the 2012 season that the Bombers would leave the Prospect League for the Ohio Valley League, another collegiate summer baseball league, where they would be a member from 2013 to 2023.
On September 20, 2023, the Bombers officially announced their return to the Prospect League for the 2024 season and beyond.
Stadium The Bombers play at League Stadium, a 3,300-seat facility owned and operated by the city of Huntingburg, Indiana. The facility was built in 1894, renovated in 1991, and is located at 203 S Cherry St in Huntingburg.
