Trevon Alexander's one-yard touchdown with three minutes left in the game proved to be enough to help the Green Bay Blizzard sneak past the Orlando Pirates 52-50 on Sunday.
The game looked like it was going to be another walk in the park for the Blizzard after outscoring the Pirates 14-10 in the first quarter and taking a 35-23 halftime lead into the locker room. The Pirates came out of the break with a flurry of points, closing the third quarter with two consecutive touchdowns to take a 43-42 lead into the final quarter. The two teams traded scores in the fourth quarter with the Alexander touchdown proving to be the difference.
Liam Thompson threw for 163 yards and rushed for another 57 yards while piling up four total touchdowns. Draysean Hudson scored two touchdowns in a seven catch evening while Alexander added a touchdown receiving to go along with his rushing score and 64 total yards.
The Blizzard are back in action on Saturday when they play in Des Moines against the Iowa Barnstormers.
