CURSE OF THE FU MANCHU

The Bandits probably played their worst ball of the year at the World Championships in Phoenix last weekend. Going just 1 and 4, they lost three straight and were the first team eliminated from the tournament.
Though they were in every game in the 7th inning, lack of runs and poor defense plagued them in all five games.
There were signs of brilliant defense at times, but the lack of runs really hurt. A bright spot was Mark Reagin who continued to pound the ball to all fields.
Next up are the Winter Worlds in Vegas, Nov. 21st, 22nd and 23rd.

A second place finish to powerful Fangrabbers. Losing a nail biter, 11-10 in 8 innings, the Bandits could not score in the 7th or 8th innings. The game was highlighted by an unbelievable throw by Randy Robison to nail the winning run at the plate!
