PBR | Oklahoma Freedom secure ninth win in last 10 games with victory over hometown Thunder

Oklahoma Freedom: 176.5 / Missouri Thunder: 0

RIDGEDALE, Mo. – As the games concluded Sunday night at the PBR (Professional Bull Riders) Team Series Thunder Days in Ridgedale, Missouri, the Oklahoma Freedom rode two bulls to beat the home team Missouri Thunder 176.5-0.

With three 90-point rides to his name already in the 2022 Teams season, Chase Outlaw (Hamburg, Arkansas) opened the game for the Freedom with a qualified ride in the lead-off position. This time for 86.25 points on God Bless America (Hoefer/Berryman/Ogden).

Looking to make the same impact, the Thunder’s Andrew Alvidrez (Seminole, Texas) set aboard Hillbilly Rock (New Frontier Rodeo) but he was flipped up and over the bull in a quick 2.76 seconds.

Entering the second frame, Tate Pollmeier (Fort Scott, Kansas) seemed to register a qualified ride on High Times (Ty Rinaldo TZ Bucking Bulls), but it was quickly challenged for a possible slap. After official review, it was ruled that Pollmeier slapped the bull at 7.84 seconds.

What looked to be a dominating start for the Freedom, left the door open for the Missouri Thunder.

The next three frames would remain quiet as neither team could make the 8 aboard their bovine opponents.

As the fourth frame came to a close, the Thunder looked to Cody Teel (College Station, Texas) to get back in the game. Up against Kong (Coleman/Ogden Ranch), Teel was unable to step up for his team and was bucked off at 6.61 seconds.

The last out for the Freedom was Derek Kolbaba (Walla Walla, Washington) and he did not disappoint, scoring a massive 90.25 points on Red River (Ty Rinaldo TZ Bucking Bulls).

Looking to get points on the board Sunday afternoon, the Thunder’s Adriano Salgado (Batatais, Brazil) attempted to ride Wasted Nights (Hale Cattle Co), but was unable to secure a ride after being bucked off at 3.69 seconds.

With that, the Oklahoma Freedom (13-9) finished 2-1 while the Missouri Thunder (11-11) finished 1-2 at Thunder Ridge Nature Arena.
