In July, 2011 the Long Island Bombers traveled to Sudbury Mass to play a double header against the Boston Renegades. The two teams played amazing games on both sides of the ball (offense and defense). Each game provided great plays and lots of drama as each game was decided by a run and both games went into extra innings. These two teams played a total of 15 innings in two games. Renegade volunteer, Bill Le captured the moments and the last two hitters of each game are brought to you in this short film which was produced by 62 Renegade Films. Turn up those speakers and we hope you enjoy the short film. Come out and see us play...its an amazing sport with a great group of people!

Boston Beats the Pennsylvania
Wolfpack
In
2008, the Pennsylvania Wolfpack traveled to Boston for a doubleheader.
This was only the 2nd time in the history of beep baseball
that two teams from the NBBA played each other in the Boston area.
The Renegades won both games with an exciting finish to the
second game. Check out the action as we bring you the last
inning of play in the second game of this match-up. The video
is shot using the Boston Renegade coach-cam
Boston Renegades on Chronicle
In June of 2008
(and replayed in September of 2008) the Boston
Renegades appeared on Chronicle. Chronicle did a piece about
giving
back to the community. The Boston Renegades success is partly
a result
of their dedicated volunteer coaching staff. The Renegades
are unique
in that as of 2008, none of the 13 volunteer coaches are related to any
of the players. This makes for a unique organization in the
NBBA.
The Holbrook Sun Writes About the New England Patriots Award to Rob Weissman and their Grant to Help ABC.

ESPN Visits the Beep Baseball
World Series
ESPN
was at the 2006 World Series in Cleveland Ohio this year.
They
put together a great production explaining the game and some of its
players. Boston was very familiar with the players mentioned
in
the video as they faced off against all of these teams in 2006.
The West Coast Dawgs were represented in the video by Lupe
Perez
and Chance Cranford. Perez scored 5 times in 6 trips to the
plate
and led the Dawgs in put-outs with 4 against Boston.
Chance
Cranford was a perfect 6 for 6 against the Renegades in 2006
and 5
for 6 in 2005. This Dawg Combination was responsible
for 50%
of the runs scored in their game against Boston as they banged in 11 of
the Dawgs 22 runs. Kalari Girtley from the Chicago Comets was
1
for 9 with 2 put-outs against Boston in 2006 after she went 3 for 6
against them in 2005. (Click the link to the right to see the 10 minute
