The
2-4 Bandits are looking to spoil another undefeated teams
record and climb in the standings when they face the 5-0
Astro's. Last week, the underdog Bandits defeated the
5-0 Red Sox by the score of 9-3. The Bandits hope to
keep things rolling this week, as they face an explosive
offensive team.
The American League Astro's are
ranked 1st in the league in team batting average (.378) and
team slugging (.553). The Astro's recorded 71 hits in 5
games, and have scored 58 runs. They defeated the Devil
Rays (0-4 record) 8-4, Dirtbags (1-4 record )
17-15, Cubs (2-3 record) 13-11, Brewers (3-2 record)
8-4, and the Outkast (3-2 record) 11-5.

10-20, 11 runs, 5 rbi's, 2-2B's), Brandon Seals (.458, 11-24,
5 runs, 8 rbi's, 2-2b's), Jonathan Stelly (.444, 8-18, 7 runs,
8 rbi's) and Chip Chauvin (7-16, 4 runs, 5 rbi's, 1-2b, 3 HR's).
The Astro's go to guy on the mound is Jonathan Stelly (4-0).

K's, 11 hits).

4-12, 1 run), Chris Cortese (3-8, 1 run), Derek Gondron (3-8,
1 run), and Kyle Poirier (.300, 6-20, 4 runs). On
the mound, Jonathan Kohn (2-2) pitched a complete game last
week vs. the Red Sox. Kohn and company held the
undefeated Red Sox to 3 runs. Kohn has an ERA of 4.55 in
31.2 innings, allowing 19 runs on 33 hits while striking out
49 (1st in the league) and walking 22. Other arms on the
