BANDITS ARE MIDWEST CHAMPS!

The Bandits go undefeated in the double elimination round to win the rain shortened Midwest Championships. The Bandits had already beaten Can Do Metals and 50 Caliber to advance to the finals bracket when a huge thunderstorm dumped up to 3 inches of rain on the Kansas City area on Sunday morning. No matter, because the Bandits had already beaten all of the 50 Major teams on Friday and Saturday, losing only to Major Plus Coors Light by one run on Saturday morning.

The Bandits did not want another second place finish and they really stepped it up in the last game against 50 Caliber out of St. Louis. This was the must win game of the tournament and they hit the ball well, keeping the pressure on for all seven innings. The win earned them another appearance at the TOC in Febuary of 2011. It will be their fourth straight trip to Florida!

Dinner at the Backfire BBQ on Friday night was a blast! Everyone showed up. Next up are the Arizona State Championships at the end of the month. Maybe a showdown with Fangrabbers?
