The 2026 Banana Ball schedule was released on Thursday, but the current season concluded on Saturday night with the Banana Ball Tour Championship Final at Grayson Stadium.
The final match was between the Party Animals and the Firefighters. The Party Animals, seeded second, advanced to the final by defeating the Tailgaters, while the Firefighters beat the Bananas to secure their spot.
The Party Animals emerged victorious, winning 4-0, largely due to the impressive performance of starting pitcher Garett Delano. Delano pitched seven innings and registered five strikeouts.
We dance, we do all kinds of stuff, we work fast, but I just focused on pitching. I felt like a pitcher again, and I’m better that way.
Delano, who has been with the team since 2022, led his team to victory.
Author's summary: Party Animals win championship.
