MESA, Arizona — This isn’t a recap of the Savannah Bananas game Saturday night at Sloan Park.
That’s because the score of the game isn’t really the point, although if I recall correctly, the Bananas “arch-rival” Party Animals scored 16 runs in the first eight innings and the Bananas had four. Or five, I didn’t keep score because... well, you really can’t at a Bananas game, because while they are playing baseball, they are also doing backflips.
