The 2-1 Pee Wees also made it to the finals. They began the day with a 9-2 loss to the Toronto Rock, but persevered for a 7-6 victory over the Mammoth in the afternoon.
Orion Sartison (2+2), Aren Cej (2+0), and Blake Robinson (2+0) were the top three scorers in the victory.
The 2-2 Bantam Roughnecks earned a split once again. They were edged by the Bantam Stealth 7-6 early this morning, but bounced back with a 12-11 victory over the Georgia Swarm.
