The Bandits struck first with a sac fly from Hallie Hall to score Skyler Shellmeyer. In the bottom of the same inning, the Chill answered with an unearned run after a dropped fly ball in right field. The Bandits Syd Supple (2019, Northwestern) scattered three hits and the Chill’s Carlee Jo Clark (2019, Southern Illinois ) allowed four in the seven inning game.
*** In a battle of Bandits vs. Bandits 14U teams, Cray Allen’s team beat Matt Helbling’s team 7-4 with a big 4th inning and scored three runs via small ball/squeezes.
*** In the Grapettes 18U 8-1 win over the Chill 18U team, Megan Bower (2018, UC Davis) went 3-for-3 with a double and three-run homer for the victors.
*** Ayden Allen went 3-for-3 with two doubles for the Texas Glory 14U team in its 5-5 tie with the Ohio Outlaws 14U Premier team.
*** In the Bandits Futures-Harkness 8-5 win over Finesse 14U-Nieto, Taylor Pannell (2022, Auburn) went 3-for-3 with two runs scored and Keagan Rothrock (2023, Florida) got the win in relief with four strikeouts.
*** Angela Zedak (2019, Northwestern) had a two-run home run as the Illinois Chill 16U beat the Washington Ladyhawks 18U-Miller 6-3.
