On Saturday, June 28, the Farm Fatales from the Bleeding Heartland Rollergirls traveled to Chicago, Ill., to play the Chicago Outfit at the Windy City Fieldhouse. The Outfit played an aggressive game with great skater-on-skater action and well-timed hits. They utilized their home court advantage, too, including a high-grip surface very different from the slick hardwood the Fatales normally skate on, as well as a rowdy crowd that gave its full support to the Outfit.

While it was not the game they came to play, the Fatales had a strong third-period push, with well-coordinated use of stalls and walls, and their jammers had great success finding the line. The Outfit maintained a large lead throughout the game, though, reaching over 100 points.

The Bleeding Heartland Rollergirls thank the Chicago Outfit for an interesting learning experience and we wish them luck with the rest of their season.
