Week 6 Rematch with Belfiore

Week 6 brought our 5th game of the year.  Coming off the bye week with a 2-2 record having won 2 games after an 0-2 start.  It also brought our second straight game with Belfiore Meats.  In our week 4 matchup, we won 34-12 giving up a last second touchdown.  Three touchdowns deep to Eric Convissar, along with his brother Doug, and defensive captain Rob Adams, having one touchdown a piece.  The one concern our team had coming into this game was looking past them towards our rematch with RTR Swashbucklers.  
Well our team made it clear early that we weren't looking past them as our team leader Nick Beltrani hit Will Piccarello deep on the first drive of the game for a quick 7-0 lead.  We set the pace early for a game that was sure to get out of hand.  Nick once again had a huge game throwing 5 touchdowns, including a 75 yard touchdown to Rob, marking his longest TD reception of the season; that put the game away.  Umberto Cordero got his first touchdown of the year, and the offense was clicking on all cylinders.  Will with two, Rob with two, and Umberto with one marking the 5 touchdowns that Nick threw during the game.  
The defense was stout after giving up 12 points to the lowest scoring team in the league in our previous meeting.  Belfiore only had a couple of plays in Appleseed territory, and threw four interceptions, one returned for a touchdown by Will.  Applseed steamrolled Belfiore 40-0, marking the first shut out of the season, and making a huge statement going into the rematch with RTR.  Next week at 8:30 on the Greenbelt turf, we will look to avenge the week 1 28-0 loss to the best team in the division.
