Bandits Protest Schwab Win!

Posted by Shane Coleman at Jul 27, 2005 5:00PM PDT ( 0 Comments )

The River Bandits squared off against a group of our alumni at Napoleon High School on Wednesday, July 27. In what proved to be a shocker, Coach Scwhab and his ALL Stars defeated the Bandits 2-0 in seven innings. At the conclusion of the game Coach Bachman initiated his second protest within seven days arguing that Coach Schwab may be involved in a performance enhancing drug scandal. His suspicions were sparked by Coach Scwhab's two hit, two RBI performance. He tops off his stellar day at the plate with a diving catch in centerfield. This alone would provoke suspicions within anyone who knows anything about talent. We can only ask ourselves where all of this came from and where was it three years ago? Verrrrrry suspicious if you ask me.
Again, results of this game will not be finalized until all test results have been submitted to team officials (Coach Bachman), and I would highly suspect that he will win this protest. This would be his first win in this category this year for those keeping track. He has been nominated twice, but his first attempt didn't go quite as planned.
By the way........ I still need your protest fee submitted immediately. You can make that check out to your assistant coaches please

BANDITS TOP MARAUDERS IN GRUDGE MATCH

Posted by Shane Coleman at Jun 28, 2005 5:00PM PDT ( 0 Comments )
The Bandits downed the Mudslide Marauders 15-7 at Napoleon High School. This contest, which was billed as one of the biggest grudge matches of the season proved to be just another win for the Bandits. The alumni team captained by Eric "Mudslide" Schwab was soundly defeated and never really threatened at anytime throughout the entire seven inning contest.
We would like to thank each player who came out last night. It really was fun seeing those of you who have played for us in the past. Thanks again and don't forget....... THE MUDSLIDES ARE ON SCHWABBY TONIGHT!
