Bandits and Runnin’ Rebels split doubleheader with 55 combined runs scored

IDAHO FALLS, Idaho (KIFI) - If you like offense, Melaleuca Field was the place to be Saturday night, where the Bandits and the Runnin' Rebels tallied a combined 55 runs in a doubleheader split.

Game one of the twin billing ended with a football score, as Pocatello won it 20-17 on the strength of a 12-run fourth inning.

But Idaho Falls bounced back in game two, tallying eight combined runs in the fifth and sixth innings to turn a 6-3 deficit into an 11-7 win.

Next up, the Bandits head to Ogden for a tournament this coming weekend, while the Runnin' Rebels host the Utah Yaks once again Tuesday in a doubleheader starting at 5:00 p.m.
