12U PREMIER: BEVERLY BANDITS PREMIER 2013-MOUSER VS. BEVERLY BANDITS PREMIER 2013-ESTEP

Beverly Bandits Premier 2013-Mouser and Beverly Bandits Premier 2013-Estep both decided not to play the championship game and finished as 12U Premier co-champions on Sunday at Elizabethtown Sports Park.

Bandits-Estep lost its first bracket game and then went all the way through the loser’s bracket to earn a 12U Premier co-championship.

“This tournament didn’t start out the way we intended when bracket play started,” Bandits coach Chris Estep said. “We lost our first game Saturday morning and immediately went to the loser’s bracket. We challenged the girls after that game. We could either quit and go home or stay and fight … they chose to fight as we went on to win seven consecutive elimination games, defeating a very talented Unity team in the last game. Our girls played 10 games and each one of them contributed to this championship. Seeing the girls respond to adversity and buckling down to play some really great softball over the remainder of those games makes me happy for our girls to know that with hard work and determination that anything is possible, including winning the PGF Bandits Power 80.”

2031 2B Grace Barca (.552 AVG, 1.283 OPS, 16 hits, 4 XBH), 2031 C Carly Van Aken (.520 AVG, 1.247 OPS, 13 hits, 4 XBH), 2032 UT/P Macie Moench (.500 AVG, 1.255 OPS, 13 hits, 4 XBH) and
2031 P/OF Jamie Buel (.444 AVG, 1.094 OPS, 12 hits, 4 XBH) were the offensive leaders for Bandits-Estep.

Moench (24 IP, 0.75 ERA, 26 Ks) and 2031 P/1B Addison Karlin (20 IP, 1.50 ERA, 22 Ks) spear-headed the Bandits-Estep pitching staff.

“Beverly Bandits Premier 2031-Mouser came to compete and left it ALL on the field this weekend at the PGF Power 80 Championship in Elizabethtown, Kentucky—finishing a perfect 6-0! 💪🥎,” Bandits coach Sabrina Mouser said. “Nothing but respect, high fives and smiles as both teams captured the moment together before heading home.”

Bandits-Mouser had 0.22 ERA as a team and 39 hits on offense.

“This was more than just a tournament—this was a statement,” Mouser said. “As the first event of Spring 2026, the momentum is REAL and building fast. Facing elite competition set the tone and sharpened this squad for what’s ahead.”
