The Devils come up short of projections, find way to top Strikers, 405.32-369.45

Both teams failed to rise to the occasion, coming up short of projections, but The Devils did enough to beat Strikers. Predicted to come up short by a score of 479.42-459.44, The Devils secured a 405.32-369.45 victory over Strikers. The Devils took an early 50.20-point lead on Thursday. Strikers bounced back to take the lead early Sunday, powered by Joe Burrow (58.33 points) and Christian McCaffrey (45.9). Not to be deterred, The Devils made a run later that night, as George Kittle (17.6 points) and Fred Warner (6.5) put them back on top once and for all. The Devils (2-1) will look to maintain their momentum against Yakattack Highrollers, while Strikers (1-2) face off against Jeffrey's Boss Team in an effort to get back in the win column.
