For the second straight night, the Jackson Bandits beat the Baton Rouge Kingfish, this time shutting out the Kingfish 2-0, at the Riverside Centroplex.
Jackson opened the scoring at the 15:12 mark of the first period of play as Sean O'Connor took a pass from Scott Kelman and beat Paxton Schafer. Billy Newson set up the goal, the only one the Bandits would need.
