After going 0 and 3 on Saturday, the Bandits bounced back and go 3 and 0 on Sunday. Warming up with a one run win against the Chicano Cubs, The Bandits faced undefeated LAF, a Major+ team out of southern California. LAF suffered their first loss of the tournament as the Bandits hit well and played stellar defense. The game ended on a spectacular catch by Danny DeAnda in center field.
Next up was arch nemesis Fangrabbers. Fangrabbers had eliminated LAF in a wild extra inning game and had beaten the Bandits by 5 on Saturday. In a back and forth game, the Bandits were down by 1 going into the open 7th inning. Fangrabbers failed to score. Two runs would win it for the Bandits. The first four hitters got hits. Game over. Bandits are Golden Glove Champions.
The Bandits welcomed infielder Skip Stephenson, from San Diego aboard. Next up, Mesquite, Nevada. Spring Worlds.
