No one could have imagined that Utica’s PGCBL team would be a legitimate contender for a PGCBL title just two years after finishing with the worst record in PGCBL history at 9-36. Yet, here they were. Facing a perennial powerhouse in the West Division, the Elmira Pioneers, the Blue Sox took Game 1 in Elmira
The Utica Blue Sox earned the right to host a PGCBL playoff game for the first time ever in 2016 as they finished the regular season in second place in the West Division at 31-18 overall.

As cliche as it sounds, anything can happen in baseball. A game on June 9, 2018 between the Utica Blue Sox and the visiting Adirondack Trail Blazers proves this theory to be 100% true.

Khalyd Cox arguably had the biggest bat in Blue Sox history. In his lone season in 2018, Cox had perhaps the most prolific season the organization had ever seen. He hit .368 in 44 games and eclipsed Taylor Olmstead’s franchise single-season home run record of seven by hitting nine. He was particularly dominant against one
