Summary
At Texas A&M's Kyle Field, a sold-out 102,000 watched the Tailgaters beat the Bananas 4-3 on a temporary baseball diamond built inside the football stadium.
The Banana Ball show mixed unscripted competitive play with celebrity cameos, music, dancing and side acts, as owner Jesse Cole said the turnout was the largest crowd in team history.
The event highlighted Banana Ball's rapid growth from a single team into a six-team league, with Cole saying newer squad the Texas Tailgaters have already built more than one million fans.
