Another very competative tournament and tune up for Reno. The Bandits were the number one seed Sunday morning and faced the always tough Major+ Fangrabbers. Danny DeAnda hits a walk off 3 run home run to win the game! This set up a rematch with the Rogues, who the Bandits beat a couple of weeks earlier in Tucson. This time the Rogues got their revenge, winning the game and the tournament. Next up is biggest tournament of the year in Reno.

TUCSON RESULTS
After yet another slow Saturday start, the Bandits rebounded nicely on Sunday and won the tournament. The Bandits went 1 and 2 on Saturday losing to the Rogues (the new Fangrabbers 55 team) and Los Vatos Viejos who seem to have our number lately. They beat CJ & S Express in a tight game. The 3 home run rule and then outs did not do us any favors.
Sunday morning, the wind was gone and we opened with the Viejos, who had beaten us the last two times. Things did not change as they won once again. What was going on here? Straight to the losers bracket against the Chicano Cubs. After defeating the Cubs, it set up yet another game with the Viejos. This was the 3rd time we played them this weekend and they were confident. Well this game was never close, as we blew them off the diamond!
We now andvanced into the finals against the Rogues who had not lost a game all weekend. Brendan had to leave for the airport, so we flew in Danny to take his place. In a tight game, the Bandits found themselves down by one run in the bottom of the 7th inning. Mark Reagin hits a two run walk off dinger! Game over. The Rogues elected not to play the second game, and the Bandits were awarded the championship. Stats below.......
