IDAHO FALLS, Idaho (KIFI) - It's a fan-favorite game every year, the annual Bandits vs. Chukars exhibition contest, and it's the Chuks coming out on top in 2024 with a 9-7 victory.

The unique seven-inning game featured Bandits hitters batting against Bandits pitchers with the same scenario for the Chukars.

Each team scored twice in the first inning, and the Bandits claimed a 5-2 advantage in the second inning.

But the Chuks pulled off the comeback to take this one 9-7.

Next up, Opening Day for the Chukars is Tuesday night at Melaleuca Field with first pitch at 7:05 p.m. The Bandits' season begins Friday with a Memorial Day Tournament in Glendale, AZ.
