“Crushers win 1-0 in OT as predicted by Milford, but it wasn't due to the cas, which were in short supply for two supposedly bruiser teams.

The short handed Crushers elected to use their inducement money on Stars and brought Spleenripper and Brick/ Grotty to the match to bolster their numbers. None of the stars did much, but Max laid his saw into a prone Orc Blitzer to end the half, SI'ing him.

The Crushers prevented the Orc score in the first, but were beset my troubles in the second. Unable to do anything but push for two turns and unable to pick up the ball until turn four (1 for 8 4+ pickup rolls!) the Crushers had little time to go for the win. But some poor positioning by the Orcs left the top sideline open and the T16 win looked assured before and improbable double-dodge, gfi, -2d blitz knocked down the ball-carrier. Crushers STILL could've won it in OT but ANOTHER 4+ (with RR!) attempt at the ball failed.

Fortunately the Crushers received in OT and were able to just barely grind out a drive on the south hash for the win after All Blazs sent too many players to the north sideline to foul a deep threat.

Great game dmitri and thanks for getting up early!”
