For release- August 17, 2010
TRAVERSE CITY, Mich.- The undefeated Traverse City Wolves left Thirlby Field this past Saturday with their first loss of the season. The Indianapolis Tornados fought off the 2009 division champion Wolves (4-1) with a 34-11 final score, extending their record to 5-2. Turnovers were a problem for Traverse City, as they racked up four fumbles and one interception.
Tony West had a 4-yard run in the first quarter to give the Tornados their first offensive strike of the game. In the second quarter, West struck again with a 15-yard carry into the end zone. Chad Rollins had a 27-yard field goal and later a 25-yard field goal set up by a fumble recovered by Carlton Summler. The Tornados went into halftime with a 20-3 lead.
West added another touchdown carry to his already stellar performance for the night, this time an 80-yard run in the fourth quarter. Luther Baker returned a fumble for another Tornados’ touchdown, giving the team their final score of the evening. A scoring strike by the Wolves with 46 seconds left in the game proved to be a valiant, but late effort, finalizing a 34-11 score.
The Tornados will be traveling this Saturday, August 21, to the “windy city.” There they will face off against the Chicago Wolverines for the second time this season. The 2008 NAFL champions will be back at home on August 28 to face the Kansas Diamondbacks.
The Indianapolis Tornados are a minor league football team with a rich history and an intense commitment to the community. The Tornados won the North American Football League championship in 2008, the largest minor league football organization in the country. Players from top colleges joined the Tornados for a shot at professional aspirations. For more information about the team and organization log on to www.indianapolistornados.com.
