The Banditos Black once again went into the very competitive 17 team USSSA State Championship facing great odds as they did the week before at the Super NIT Governor Games having only 9 players. The pitching and defense was outstanding. The team scored 41 runs and gave up only 9 in 6 games. These boys have won back to back weekends with a short roster. Once again they pulled together and overcame the odds.
