WannaBes beat Ripsnorters for seventh straight win in 114.74-68.50 landslide

WannaBes extended their win streak to seven games with a dominant victory over Ripsnorters, rolling to a 114.74-68.50 win. It was the third consecutive loss for Ripsnorters. It didn't take long to learn who would be the frontrunner in the matchup, as WannaBes jumped out to a 47.2-point lead early Sunday afternoon behind outstanding showings from CeeDee Lamb and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers defense. Lamb racked up 106 yards from scrimmage and caught 2 touchdown passes for 22.6 points, while the Buccaneers defense allowed 29 points, surrendered 320 yards, and forced a fumble (11 points). James Robinson (57 Rush Yds, 1 Rush TD, 27 Rec Yds) and Justin Herbert (195 Pass Yds, 1 Pass TD, 22 Rush Yds) did their part for Ripsnorters in defeat. This marks the second time this season WannaBes have beaten Ripsnorters, after winning 125.38-92.88 in their last matchup. WannaBes (8-2) will look to keep it rolling against Captain Hindsight, while Ripsnorters (5-5) will try to right the ship against Short Bus Ryderz.
