Bloomingdale Bandits 12U

Happy 12th Birthday, Sawyer! 🎉⚾️

One of the quietest kids on the field… but one of the loudest impacts when the game starts.

Strong, physical, and built for big moments — Sawyer brings real power at the plate and is always ready to control the game behind it as a catcher.

Tough, dependable, and a true teammate in every way.

Proud to have you in the Bandits family. Have a great birthday, Sawyer! 🎂💪⚾️

🎉 Happy 12th Birthday to Vicente N. 🎉

Big birthday shoutout to one of the heartbeats of the team.

On the field, he’s a real difference-maker:
⚾ Big-time power at the plate — always a threat to leave the yard
⚾ Go-to arm on the mound when we need him most
⚾ Plays the game with confidence and toughness

But even more important than the stats is who he is in the dugout and in the clubhouse—great kid, great teammate, and someone the guys genuinely enjoy playing alongside.

Proud to have him back in the Bandits family and excited to see what year 12 brings for him.

Happy Birthday, Vicente! 🎂⚾

Happy 12th Birthday to Matthew! 🎉⚾️💨

One thing everybody knows about Matthew — if he gets on base, you better be ready because the kid can FLY. His blazing speed changes the game every time he steps on the field, and he’s always putting pressure on the defense. Add in his hard work, great attitude, and competitiveness, and he’s a huge part of this team.

Hope you have an awesome birthday, Matthew! Keep working hard, keep causing chaos on the bases, and keep being you. 🔥

The Bloomingdale Bandits wrapped up the final tournament of the season the best way possible… with another Championship win! 🏆

The boys faced some adversity on Saturday, but they showed up locked in on Sunday and played Bandits baseball when it mattered most.

⚾️ Bandits of the Weekend ⚾️

🔥 Sawyer L. — Outstanding at the plate all weekend, constantly finding ways to get on base while also being a workhorse behind the dish.

🔥 Philippe D. — Delivered huge clutch hits, piled up RBI’s, and stepped up pitching and catching. An all-around incredible weekend.

🔥 Vicente N. — Threw a dominant 5-inning complete game in the semifinals to punch our ticket to the championship.

🔥 Brantley A. — Finished the job with a dominant 6-inning complete game in the championship game to help lead the Bandits to the title.

These boys put in the work all season long. From field cleanup days, endless fundraisers, practices, scrimmages, games, and tournaments — they continued to grow as players, teammates, and friends.

We close out the Spring 11U season with a 27-11 record and a whole lot to be proud of. Even more exciting, there’s a lot to look forward to as we move into 12U this fall.

For now, it’s time for a much-needed break before we get back to work.

Happy 11th Birthday to Oliver Dorsey! 🎉⚾️

Oliver has spent a large part of the season battling injuries, but that hasn’t stopped him from showing what being a true teammate is all about. Whether he’s able to be on the field or not, he’s always at practices and tournaments in full uniform, cheering on his teammates and supporting the Bandits every step of the way.

That kind of commitment, toughness, and team-first attitude says a lot about who Oliver is both as a player and as a teammate. We can’t wait to see him back out there doing what he loves.

Hope you have an awesome birthday, Oliver!
