Kansas City Outlaws: 251 
Missouri Thunder: 0 

Propelled by three consecutive rides in the middle of the first game of the second day of competition at PBR (Professional Bull Riders) Gambler Days, the Kansas City Outlaws trounced the Missouri Thunder, 251 – 0.

After a scoreless first frame, the Outlaws’ Marcus Mast (Middlebury, Indiana), by all appearances bucked off The Sauce (Blake Sharp/Henry Wilson), desperately held on for the final three seconds of his ride and was marked 77.5 points.

With the Missouri Thunder unable to answer, the Outlaws continued their gritty performance as Kyler Oliver (Roy, Utah), who had broken his neck in April, rode Bison (JD Nix Rodeo Co.) for 86 points to put the team up 163.50 - 0. Rafael Henrique Dos Santos (Sebastianopolis, Brazil), three for his last five coming into Saturday night, added to the Outlaws’ lead in the top of the fourth frame. Matched with Sammy (Dorman/Weaver/Hilton Bull Co), Dos Santos collected 87.5 points to clinch the win for the Outlaws.

As the opening game of the night drew to a close, the Missouri Thunder looked for their first qualified ride. Colten Fritzlan (Rifle, Colorado) was determined to put a score on the board but earned a re-ride opportunity. In a stunning decision, since the game was already decided, bull riding is the world’s most dangerous organized sport, and Fritzlan is the Outlaws’ franchise player, he was chosen to attempt Dr. X (Universal Pro Rodeo/Pepper/Freeman Cattle Co) on the re-ride. Fritzlan was unsuccessful, bucked off at a hard-fought 6.81 seconds.

The Kansas City Outlaws (5-7) will look to win their second game in Austin on Sunday night when they face the Arizona Ridge Riders (8-4). The Missouri Thunder (7-5) will attempt to rebound from the frustrating scoreless loss against the Oklahoma Freedom (4-8).
