On Saturday August 15th, 2009, Bloomington’s Bleeding Heartland Roller Girls (BHRG) home teams, the Slaughter Scouts and the Farm Fatales, went head-to-head for the first time this season to settle an old score. Fans packed the Bloomington Sportsplex to see their favorite home team rollergirls play in this epic battle.

Fans got to see many of their favorite rollergirls on the jam line, including new faces and old favorites, rookies and seasoned vets. Tijuana Momma, of the Farm Fatales, took the jam line with her colorful tutu. The Slaughter Scout’s Snide Piper also wore the jammer star. The game was a close one – with tied scores and 3-5 point leads trading hands between teams. It was a furious fight to the finish. In the last jam of the evening, Falanie Charges, playing in her retirement bout, led the Slaughter Scouts to victory, closing the game with a close score of 53 – 59.
