The Bleeding Heartland Rollergirls Flatliners wowed the hometown crowd with a calculated and methodical deconstruction of the Derby City Rollergirls Saturday night. The Flatliners controlled the track with cool precision, setting the pace with fast and furious jams. Repeatedly gaining lead jammer status during the first period, the Flatliners quickly gained a healthy lead. It wasn’t until the 9th jam with Flatliner jammer Terror d’Bits starting in the box that DCRG jammer Lil Rage of Sunshine was able to break through the formidable defense and gain lead jammer status for the first time, scoring 3 points for Derby City. The first period ended with FL jammer Killer Kindness going down hard under two DCRG skaters, but she came back to complete her third grand slam, with the Flatliners leading 81-11. DCRG fought hard during the second period with several solid jams in the first few minutes of the half. In the end the Flatliners quick jammers and strong defensive pack won over Derby City 147-41. –Inspekt’er Chicken
