Another late comeback was not to be. Entering the final quarter with a seven point lead, the Rush stepped on the gas and pulled away to a comfortable 58-30 victory.
Kicker Brian Umstead topped off a mixed performance by converting the game winning field goal from the 23 yard line as the clock went to zero. The final score of 45-42 gives the Command their first two game winning streak.
It has been five games since the Kansas City Command scored at least 50 points. Three were losses. Saturday night, at the Sprint Center, newly promoted quarterback Stephen Wasil led the Command back to the 50 point plateau. The result was an exciting 50-41 victory over the visiting Cleveland Gladiators.
It was not a good night for the Kansas City Command. Thursday night they fell to the visiting Arizona Rattlers by 56-28, which pushed their winless streak to 0-3. A gathering of 2833 fans had ample elbow room in the Sprint Center. The concession lines were short, if you get the drift.
