Volts vs Bandits team news & key performers
Volts team news
After launching fireworks on Opening Day, the Volts took a more methodical route this weekend—trading power for precision. They racked up 15 hits in clinical fashion, stringing together sharp singles, bunt base knocks, and productive groundouts to prove that you don’t need to leave the yard to put up runs.
Danieca Coffey, Sierra Romero, and Kelsey Stewart‑Hunter each collected three hits, with Coffey and Jennings combining for a scorching 5-for-5 and six RBIs between them. Mariah Mazon set the tone in the circle and saw it through, handling both the starting load and closing duties.
The Blaze had their moment thanks to Anissa Urtez, who roped a two-run triple, but it wasn’t nearly enough to halt the Volts’ relentless charge at the plate. This wasn’t a slugfest—it was a masterclass in small-ball execution.
Bandits team news
History was written at Parkway Bank Sports Complex in Rosemont, Illinois last Saturday, as the Bandits edged out the Talons, 3-1, in the inaugural matchup of the Athletes Unlimited Softball League (AUSL). But the Talons didn't stay grounded for long.
On Sunday, they bounced back in style, clinching a thrilling 6–3 victory over the Bandits. Ali Aguilar and Tori Vidales wasted no time making noise, launching back-to-back solo bombs in the opening frame. The Bandits hit back with a flash of history themselves—Morgan Zerkle circled the bases for the league's first-ever inside-the-park home run.
But the Talons took over from there, piecing together relentless rallies late in the game. All nine batters in their lineup tallied at least one hit, and they went 7-for-13 with runners in scoring position, making every opportunity count.
Rookie Lauren Derkowski locked things down on the mound after the third inning, and the bullpen duo of Chaffin and Fouts slammed the door shut to secure a statement win.
