4/12/09 - Last Home Bout of the 2009 Season Results:
In front of another large crowd at our new home, The Coliseum, Fort Wayne's SWAT Team and Bomb Squad went head to head with the Steel City Derby Demons from Pittsburgh, PA. The SWAT Team had a rough start against Steel City's B Unit, finding themselves down 22 to 9 after 6 jams, but slowly they chiseled away at that lead on the backs of strong jams by Sweet Avenger and Sugar Guns to end the period down 8, score 30-38. Right from the first whistle of the second period, the SWAT Team was on fire, racking up several grand slams to win the bout, 83 to 67, to finish their 2009 Home Season 4-0. The Bomb Squad wasn't so lucky. Steel City's All Stars, Steel Hurtin', hit the track with some slow and strong pack play that the Bomb Squad could not combat. After 60 hard fought, aggressive minutes, The Bomb Squad found themselves on the wrong end of a 69 to 143 final score, to end their 2009 Home Season 3-1. Now Fort Wayne's teams hit the road until January 2010. Check out our events page to see when you can catch them in action next.
