Ladies win NYS ASA title!!!!!!!!

Lady Bandits were perfect this past weekend winning all 6 games including the semi-final and final games by mercy run-rule. 

A season best effort fielding, hitting and pitching produced a huge result as the team rolled through ASA states at Bagasi this past weekend.  Included were 2 wins over the tournament host team Tremors Elite from Binghamton in Game 1 and Game 4, by the scores of 4-2 and 5-1.  Game 5 produced a mercy run-rule victory over the STPS Ponies 9-0 as all 9 runs were plated in the 4th inning including 8 hits featuring a leadoff double by Sammi followed later by a 2-run single also by Sammi.  The inning featured a record 11 stolen bases.  Also, on the mound, Sammi was nearly perfect only allowing a bloop single in the 3rd inning as the only base runner.  She threw a record-low 34 pitches to just 16 batters in the victory.

In the finale, the ladies faced a tough-looking Renegades Gold team from Syracuse.  The Renegades were the #1 seed and the Bandits were #2.  In the second inning Sammi produced a clutch singl, plating Brooke who had singled earlier in the inning.  In the 5th inning, Brooke put the iciing on the cake crushing a 1st pitch triple over the rightfielders head.  In the the 6th inning, the Bandits pushed accross 8 more runs on 7 singles including a triple by Cassie.  Chaylen finished the game with 3 hits, scoring 3 runs and had 2 RBI's.  Cassie, Quincy, Brooke, Tori and Sammi had 2 hits apiece as the Bandits set a new record for hits in a game with 17.

Quincy picked up 4 victories with a low 1.35 ERA.  Danielle continued to set the standard at secondbase with only 1 error in 30 chances making numerous spectacular plays.  The team stole 61 bases in the 6 games led by Brooke with 11 swipes and Cassandra and Bri with 9.  Chaylen led the way batting going 10-18 (.609 average) with 6 RBI's.

The Lady Bandits put their new bats to good use as they provided a glimpse of their offensive fireworks in 4 of 5 games this weekend at the Lady Raiders college showcase tournament at the Holding Point in Horseheads, NY.  Victories over Ramapo Rage, WNY Elite, Liverpool Blue Reign and Rapid Fire were sandwiched by a loss to the Diamond Dusters. 

 Cassandra led the way offensively going 6 for 13 at the plate (including a triple), stealing 5 bases and driving in 3 runs.  She also made some nice plays defensively at secondbase.  Bri hit the ball hard all weekend, producing 2 doubles and a .500 on base percentage going 4 for 9.  Tori ripped 3 doubles and was 5-12.    Chaylen tripled and homered, stole 4 bases and scored 5 runs.  Quincy and Sammy combined for the 4 wins, striking out 16 while only walking 6 in the 5 games.

Lady Bandits completed their second tournament of the year at Bagsai in Binghamton, NY at the Bad Apples showcase tournament.  Megan led the charge hitting a torrid .667 with stolen bases.  Brooke finished with a nice tournament batting .333, playing a solid defense in centerfield.  Chaylen kept her hot hitting alive with another blast in Game 1 against Lady Ice, which cleared the centerfield fence, estimated as a 225+ foot shot.  She finished the tournament batting .412, 3 doubles, 1 homerun and 3 stolen bases.  It was her second (over-the-fence) homerun in 2 tournaments.

Quincy and Sammi provided solid pitching throughout as Sammi finished with an eye-popping ERA of .93 and Quincy  racked up 8 K's and only 3 walks.

The Ladies started the tournament smoking the ball, hit a lull, then finished with a flury last weekend.  In the Friday night game, Chaylen led the charge with a Triple off the leftfield fence followed up 2 innings later with a 225'+ homerun over the leftcenter field fence-her 3rd in 3 tournaments.  With it, she joined the prestigous 225'+ homerun club at Aunt Rosies.  She finished with a .455 average with 4 doubles, 2 triples and a homerun.  Cassandra led the tournament with an incredible average of .500 going 9 for 18 including a power slap homerun in the first game.  She finished with 3 stolen bases and 7 runs scored.  Sarah made an immediate impact on Sunday going 6 for 10 pounding the ball.  Quincy, Megan, Danielle and Sammi all finished over .300 in the most impressive hitting tournament for the ladies to date.

More impressive pitching performances by Quincy and Sammi in the 7 games.  Sammi finished with 13 strikouts in 19 innings.
