The Tri-City Chili Peppers are a collegiate summer baseball team playing in the Coastal Plain League. The team plays its home games at Shepherd Stadium in Colonial Heights, Virginia.[1] The team joined the league in 2020 but didn't play due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[5][6][7] Their first ever game was an 8-11 loss to the Holly Springs Salamanders on the road in North Carolina on Friday, May 28, 2021.[8] Their first ever home game was a 10-8 win over the Wilson Tobs on Monday, May 31, 2021.[9][10] On June 1, 2024, the Chili Peppers played under conditions they described as "Cosmic Baseball." The game was played under black lights, with glow-in-the-dark balls, bats, bases and uniforms.[11]
