The Cranbrook Bandits squads had a good all-around weekend of play.
The junior team was at home to take on the Bitterroot Red Sox for two double-headers on May 18 and 19.
It was a slow start for the Bandits who lost their first two games against the Red Sox on Saturday 15-8 and 21-2. But, the team was able to rebound quickly for their Sunday games and won 13-3 and 3-2. It was a defensive stalemate in the final game as defence and pitching were strong for both teams.
The team is now 4-4 on the season.
