In what was one of the better games played between the two teams, the Sheboygan A's narrowly defeated the Manitowoc Bandits by a score of 6-5 at Municipal Field on Tuesday night.  The Bandits opened the scoring in the bottom of the first when Kyle Schroeder homered to right field with Nat Richter on second.  The A's would tie the game and then go ahead when Tim Patzman hit a two run homer over the right field fence.
 

The Lombard Orioles wrapped up their visit to Manitowoc by winning two slugfests with the Bandits by scores of 14-8 and 13-9.  The Bandits offense was able to put up runs all day but the Lombard Orioles were able to put up a few more off a depleted Bandits pitching staff.  A strong wind out to right field helped the Bandits accumulate eight doubles and a pair of homers on the day but it wasn't enough.  Brock Wetenkamp recorded a Grand Slam in first game while Nat Richter hit a two run shot in game two.
 

 The visiting Lombard Orioles swept a Saturday doubleheader at Municipal Field against the Bandits by scores of 7-1 and 5-3.  In game one, Orioles pitcher Ian Kroll (recently selected in the 7th Round of the MLB Draft by the Oakland A's) tossed a complete game win.  The Bandits scored their lone run when Brock Wetenkamp reached after being hit by a pitch and eventually scored on a Donovan Strouf single.  Jayme Sukowaty took the loss but pitched effectively, recording nine strikeouts and only one walk.
 

Bandits shortstop and lead off hitter Doug Bloom collected five hits on the evening and drove in the winning run with a single in the bottom of the tenth inning as the Bandits narrowly defeated the Green Bay Storm by a score of 5-4.  The Bandits trailed by as much as 4-0 after the third inning but starting pitcher CJ Marx settled into groove, striking out seven over nine innings before being relieved by Brock Wetenkamp who picked up the win.
 

 Mike Hall hit a third inning Grand Slam as the Bandits travelled to Oshkosh and collected a 9-3 victory of the Giants in Wisconsin State League play.  Greg Herr pitched a solid seven innings to pick up the win.  Nat Richter and Sam Spurney were 3x5 at the plate while Doug Bloom contributed a pair of hits in the win as well.  Andrew Wyman pitched a pair of scoreless innings to complete the game.

 The Bandits came back home after a week on the road and looked quite comfortable as they defeated the De Pere RiverBandits by a score of 12-2.  The Bandits took advantage of a depleted De Pere pitching staff that completed a 23 inning double header marathon over the weekend in Appleton to record 10 hits which included home runs by TC Lee, Brock Wetenkamp and a game ending line drive shot by catcher Kyle Schroeder.
 

The week ended in much better fashion than it began as the Bandits rebounded from three consecutive losses to win a pair of games on Saturday against the Janesville Aces.  Jayme Sukowaty tossed a complete game 3-0 shutout victory while Josh Krowiorz took the mound in the second game and the team notched another win, this time 5-2.
