The 25 wins in a half breaks the old CPL record of 24 set by the Forest City Owls in 2009. Meanwhile, the Steamers ¬â¢ 44 overall regular season wins was good for the second-best mark ever, behind the same Owls squad, who had 46 in 2009.
The Steamers broke eleven team franchise records in 2011, including consecutive winning seasons, winning percentage, wins in a season, runs scored, triples. RBI, total bases, stolen bases, slugging percentage, on-base percentage and walks.
Along with the team franchise records that fell, some individual marks were set in 2011 as well. Joey Wendle, out of West Chester University (PA) tied the Steamers franchise record for batting average (.377 by Brett Nomenson in 2008), set new standards for hits in a season (81) and assists by a second baseman (158), as well as total bases (109).

Dustin Quattrocchi became the most used Steamer in their history, making 36 appearances out of the bullpen in 2011.
