Bend Bandits Subdue the Punchless Vigilantes

The Vigilantes’ bid to reach .500 for the first time in a month came up short as they were defeated by the Bend Bandits, 7-1, in front of an announced crowd of 2,579 Saturday at Saddleback College.

The Vigilantes (14-16) were held to only three singles as their three-game winning streak ended.

Bend pitcher Ben Burlingame (4-9) struck out eight and walked two in the complete-game victory.

Bernie Nunez had three hits and drove in four runs and Tim Grice went four for four with two runs scored for the Bandits (12-18), who had lost nine of their last 11.
