Painster find way to beat Disco Stu 80-68 despite coming up short of projections

Both teams were unable to bring their A game, but Painster did enough to beat Disco Stu, earning an 80-68 victory. Disco Stu jumped out to a 14-point lead early Sunday afternoon behind outstanding performances from the San Francisco 49ers defense, who didn't allow any points, surrendered 154 yards, and forced a fumble for 15 points, and Jamaal Williams, who caught 4 passes for 26 yards and a touchdown (8 points). But Painster held the lead the rest of the way, powered by Latavius Murray (27 points) and the Dallas Cowboys defense (15). Painster (5-2) will look to add to their success against FREAKS, while Disco Stu (4-3) match up against The Horde in an effort to get back on track.
