The Bananas have one more series before the 2025 playoffs get underway. This two-game set will take place at Daikin Park in Houston. It will be against the Texas Tailgaters.
Daikin Park is the home of the Houston Astros, who will be playing in Los Angeles against the Angels during this weekend as the Bananas take over their home field.

Banana Ball rules
Banana Ball has 11 rules that are designed to add more entertainment value to the game and eliminate long stretches without any action.
- Every inning is worth one point. The team that wins the inning gets the point for that inning. In the last inning of the game, every run counts.
- A new inning cannot be started after two hours of game time.
- A hitter cannot step out of the box. If a hitter does step out, a strike will be added to the count.
- A hitter is not allowed to bunt.
- A hitter is allowed to attempt to steal first base on any pitch of an at-bat.
- There are no walks. If a pitcher throws four balls, every defensive player on the field must touch the ball before it becomes live. A hitter can advance to as many bases as possible.
- Catchers and coaches are not allowed to visit the mound.
- If a fan catches a foul ball, the catch results in an out.
- If the game is tied at the end of the time limit, the Showdown Tiebreaker will decide which team wins the game.
- Each team is allowed to challenge one ruling on the field (fair/foul ball calls, force/tag play calls and catch play calls). Fans will also have the ability to challenge one ruling during the game.
- The Golden Batter Rule allows a team to send any hitter to bat in any spot in the lineup. It can only be used once per game.
(More details on the Showdown Tiebreaker, challenges and other rules can be found here.)
