GoBolts fall short of projections, succumb to Ballers, 106.37-92.52

There's no sugarcoating it, GoBolts underperformed, at least compared to projections, as Ballers staged an impressive comeback for a 106.37-92.52 victory. Despite trailing 92.52-65.57 heading into Monday night, Ballers came storming back behind Daniel Jones, who passed for 210 yards and a touchdown and ran for 54 yards for 40.8 points. Ryan Fitzpatrick (50.22 points) and Hunter Henry (15.4) were the leaders for GoBolts in defeat. Ballers (4-5) will look to maintain their momentum against Insanity, while GoBolts (3-6) will face Blue Ox in an effort to get back on track.
