PIERMONSTERS come up short of predictions, succumb to Night Hawk, 218.1-201.2

There's no easy way to put it, PIERMONSTERS didn't do their job, at least based on projections, as Night Hawk earned a 218.1-201.2 win. Night Hawk never trailed in this one after nabbing a 20.3-point lead on Thursday behind J.D. McKissic.
