Batavia Bandits 2011 Hub City 9U Tournament Champions

The Batavia Bandits 9U defeated the Illinois Valley Titans 8-1 to win the 2011 Rochelle Hub City Tournament.

The Bandits jumped out to an early 4-0 lead in the bottom half of the 1st inning and never looked back.   The pitching and  defense continued to be outstanding this game as it had been the whole weekend.

The Titans scored a run in the top of the 4th.   Ryan Ingold  responded in the bottom half of the inning with a "bomb" to center field recapturing the Bandits 4 run lead.  The Bandits scored three more before the inning ended.  That is all the offense the Bandits needed, winning the game with a final score of 8-1.
