The South Big Horn Little League All-Stars didn’t get the storybook ending they were seeking at last week’s District 1 Majors Tournament in Bridger Valley.
A first-time qualifier, the club was unable to overcome nerves and inconsistent fielding, losing to the Lander Valley All-Stars 18-1 on Thursday and to the Powell All-Stars 16-6 on Friday.
“We definitely ran into some good teams,” said Brett Patterson, the team’s manager. “Nerves were an issue, too.
“Our kids were experiencing that environment for the first time and it was a big change for them.”
The highlights were few and far between in the matchup with Lander. The Bandits mustered just four singles, off the bats of Kayson Herebia, Colt Collingwood, Wyatt Kunkel and Kade Julson.
“We were putting our bat on the ball -- they were just going right to their defenders,” said Patterson. “It seemed like they were always in the right place at the right time.”
