Kicking deep to the Averheim River Bandits in the rain for the first drive, Anthony Barr piled on the advancing Louis Murphy in the Sluggers first turn,
Meanwhile star Blitzer Troy Niklas who has a potential suiter in Averheim River Bandits coach FRSHMN having been informed that he is surplus to requirements at the Sluggers needed to impress but sprinting into a sacking position of the ball carrier Ronde Barber he slipped in the rain and put out his hip missing the rest of the game - pretty sure FRSHMN was impressed by his commitment to the River Bandits cause already.
Completely unhurt and undeterred by Barrs tackling, Murphy went on a rampage putting the boot in and killing Tommy Mason and ko'ing other players, still the Sluggers kept up the pressure getting Ronde into tackle zones that his teammates bltized away as much as possible before he danced away from the others.
Ronde thinking he was safe from harm with Warren between him and the Sluggers line taunted the Sluggers, enraged Slug smashed Warren in the legs and took him out for the rest of the game (and next game sadly).
For the rest of the half coach FRSHMN gave a masterclass in controlling a drive and protecting his ballcarrier, an ill advised 7th turn attempt to prevent the Bandits score resulted in Justin Gilbert greeting the fans and he'll now be missing the next game too.
In the 2nd half the Sluggers drove for a turn 3-5 touchdown and hoping to use their guard and strength advantage pulled the bandits into a massive scrum. The Bandits were able to slow and halt the drive in the scrum but were losing players fast.
Unfortunately for the Sluggers the lone Bandits guard was able to get away from Slug and assist his teammates in a vital turn, allowing Ronde to once again scoop up the ball and make a get away (I just couldn't touch Ronde this game - he was leading a charmed life)), Joel Bitonio made a break from the scrum to chase down Ronde but a flailing leg from a bandit player caused him to trip - Ronde made a break for it, Slug caught him with a massive hit but amazingly Ronde stayed on his feet, the crowd were going wild would Ronde make it?
Ronde broke free of Slug (he really needs tackle) and was paces from the Sluggers endzone, the Sluggers steriod abusing catcher Marvin McNutt raced towards Ronde but critically slipped on the blitz gfi and went down, Ronde walked in his 2nd score of the game to make it 0-2.”
