Game Recap - Bandits swat Skeeters 6-2.

The St. Croix River Bandits (4-2 overall, 1-1 conference) bounced back after a rough loss last weekend versus Isanti and beat the Hager City Skeeters 6-2 in Hager City. Brandon Pederson started for the Bandits on the mound and had his best outing of the year. The Skeeters took an early 1-0 lead in the bottom of the first inning, but Pederson settled down, allowing only 2 runs over 6 innings (1 earned) and striking out 2. The Bandits came right back with 3 runs in the top of the 2nd inning with singles by Steve Siqueiros, Kyle Kahl, and Scott Lindholm. Michael Chelberg was hit by a pitch which drove in a run, and John Peterson knocked in a 2RBI double for the 3-1 lead. The Bandits scored a run in the 4th, 8th, and 9th inning. The Bandits ended up with 14 hits on the day, the most hits compiled by the Bandits this season.

Adam Lewis made his 2008 debut for the Bandits, Lewis struggled at the plate (however it was the first time swinging the bat since last summer) but shined on the mound. Lewis threw 3 innings, gave up only 3 hits, struck out 5, and let up 0 runs.

This next week the Bandits have 3 huge conference games. Wednesday @ New Richmond - 7:30, Friday @ Osceola 7:00, Saturday vs. Hudson @ Oakey Park in Osceola. Come out and support the Bandits!
