2026 Tornados Overtake Bombers for 35+ Division Crown in Atlanta MABL/MSBL

Atlanta MABL/MSBL, 35+ Division

Tornados 20, Bombers 5 (Game three in best-of-three championship series)

Submitted by John Ahern, manager

The first-place Tornados have won their second championship in four years. After being swept last season in the final, the Tornados unseated the defending 35+ Atlanta champs, the Bombers.

The best-of-three series went the distance after two close battles. The Tornados were held down at the plate for game one by strong Bomber pitching and lost 5-3.

In the second game, the Tornados jumped out to a commanding 7-0 lead. However, the Bombers were able to make a game of it, almost coming back, losing only 10-8 and allowing the Tornados to force a game three.

Behind strong pitching and hitting, the Tornados cruised to a 20-5 game three win and secured the championship.

After last year’s defeat, the entire team dedicated themselves to being better physically and mentally. Their hard work and sacrifice are what made this achievement possible, allowing us to go 13-3 this season and win this year’s championship.
