In week eleven he was paired against David Santos in a rematch of week six. Santos' Thunderbolt and Sanada's Orion, promised a slugfest and they did not disappoint. Using the Deeps' cover only sparingly, both went for an early win. Sanada scored the first critical hit, damaging Santos' LRM launcher and pressed for the advantage. After repeated exchanges, Santos was down two medium lasers, some engine shielding, and a damaged gyro. Refusing to concede the match, Santos continued fighting and Sanada continued his assault finally striking Santos in the head. Stunned, Santos fell and match officials stepped and, despite Santos' protests, awarded Sanada the match.[1]

The combination of Santos and Lee Lumley loses and Tracy Vanberchum's victory set her as Class Four Division Leader.[1]

After week twelve's matches, Class Four Division standings saw Tracy Vanberchum two points ahead of David Santos and three points ahead of both Natalia Burns and Lee Lumley.[2]

With Six weeks to go in the BBL the race in the Class Four Division was still open. Tracy Vanberchum had a five-point lead over David Sanada, with David Santos in third and Natalia Burns lurking in fourth.[3]

Santos was once again paired against David Sanada for week seventeen with both looking to gain on Vanberchum. It was a match of maneuver, punctuated with short violent exchanges of weapons fire. The two fought a controlled and intense match. Sanada however made lucky shot, with an autocannon blast that shattered Santos' right knee actuator.
