Vancouver's Semi-Pro Baseball Team

It was an all-Bandits battery for a 1-2-3 inning on Sunday as Kyle Sharp and Josh Soske helped lead the Columbia Division to an 8-1 victory over the Cascadia Division in the 2016 NWIBL All-Star Game. Soske went 2-3 with a walk and two doubles. Great job guys!
Unfortunately your Bandits fell twice today to the Rose City Cardinals and have been eliminated from the 2016 NWIBL playoffs.
Although the season has come to an end, four Bandits will compete in the 2016 All-Star game and at least two will compete in the Home Run Derby following. Come out tomorrow to Walker Stadium for some season ending fun!
1PM : Championship Game - Bridgetown Thunder vs. Rose City Cardinals
4PM : All-Star Game
7PM : Home Run Derby
Congratulations to the 2016 Bandits All-Stars! They are:
Eddie Crowe
Kyle Sharp

Bandits (Alleged) Birthday!!
It's believed that today is the real Birthday of Bandits player Brandon Reinert estimating him to be 36 yrs old.
Brandon, was released from the Milwaukee Brewers organization before ever starting, when they quickly learned he provided false documents and he may be much older than indicated.
He moved to Portland after an unsuccessful attempt in 2005 to make it in the MLB with the Milwaukee Brewers Minor league team using a fake identification showing his Birthday to be Aug 16th 1988 "17 yrs old",
However old he may be he still plays the game as if he's 18 & the Bandits are more than happy to have him playing in Vancouver.
