Tight End Christopher Bazile would convert the 2-point try and make it 24-22 Beasts.
The Wild Aces would get just one offensive drive in the 2nd half. With Ed Crouch in at quarterback, the Aces began to burn the clock down. Just as they did in Week One, soaking up the minutes on the ground was the ultimate goal by the fans of the Aces. The trio of Crouch, Galloway and Virgies marched the offense slowly down the field. The drive ended with a four yard rush from Daryl Virgies. Following a failed 2-point conversion, the Wild Aces would lead the Beasts 28-24.
The Beasts would get the final possession of the game. TJ Edwards would spread the ball around quite a bit as the clock ticked down to zero. Edwards fumbled the ball which backed up the Beasts. On 2nd and long, TJ would run for 14 yards. Following a completion to Damon Sheehy-Guiseppi, Christian Saulsberry would reel in a catch. Following Saulsberry’s catch, the Power Play Power Up would be used by the Beasts. Tight End Deylon Key would convert a crucial 3rd down. On 1st and 2, the combo of Cecil Cherry and Donte Rumph would sack TJ Edwards. After a block in the back call which resulted in a loss of down, 4th and 5 loomed.
