Designated Drinkers defeat Team RamRod for third straight win in 103.58-78.92 rout

Designated Drinkers extended their win streak to three games with a dominant win over Team RamRod, cruising to a 103.58-78.92 victory. Designated Drinkers took an early 12.42-point lead on Thursday. Team RamRod bounced back to take the lead during the early round of games on Sunday, powered by Robert Foster (18.8 points) and Kirk Cousins (15.3). Unphased, Designated Drinkers rallied later that afternoon, as Julian Edelman (9 points) put them back on top once and for all. This marks the second time this season Designated Drinkers have gotten the best of Team RamRod, after winning 129.86-76.9 in their last matchup. Designated Drinkers will look to not lose that winning feeling in the Championship next week, while Team RamRod attempt to rebound and finish the season with a win in the 3rd Place game.
