The Mechanics defeat Team Tadlock in 161.75-158.30 battle

The Mechanics stepped up and exceeded expectations, squeaking by for a 161.75-158.30 win over Team Tadlock, who fell short of projections. Team Tadlock made a run at it on Monday night, but it wasn't to be. The Mechanics led 137.05-134.30 after Sunday's action and held on for the win despite a combined 24 points from Mason Crosby and the Green Bay Packers defense on Monday night for Team Tadlock. The Mechanics were led by Melvin Gordon III (35 points) and Albert Wilson (33). The Mechanics (3-3) will look to sustain their momentum against FDC Chiefs, while Team Tadlock (3-3) meet Boomtown Brawlers in an effort to right the ship.
