Pueblo Bandits Roll in the Joe Santos Memorial
The Pueblo Bandits reached their second title game in as many weeks when they faced off in a battle of Manley men in the Joe Santos Memorial Tournament Final. Bandit ace Jeremy Manley led the Bandits to an 8-1 win over his younger brother Regan Manley of the Colorado Rage in the championship game.
By virtue of their win, Pueblo earned a berth into the ISC tournament. The Colorado Rage earned the ISC II ToC berth with their runner-up finish.
This tournament showed a resurgence of team and fan interest in men’s fastpitch with teams from El Paso, TX, Arizona & Utah and from all over Colorado. Thanks to all who participated and supported the event.
