The first franchise win for the Milwaukee Bonecrushers eluded the team last Friday night with a 56-32 loss to the New Jersey Revolution at Mennen Arena in Morristown New Jersey.
The Bonecrushers were behind the 8-ball going into the game with the absence of QB Cody Craig, kicker Jake Provan and Head coach Michael Tumbleson, all who were unable to make the trip. Matters were made worse after the Revs jumped out to a 23-6 first quarter lead.
An early second quarter offensive flurry by the Bonecrushers cut the lead to 29-20 with touchdown receptions by Sam D'Alie and Dorian Palmer, but the Revs took control for good with a 43-20 halftime lead.
The Revs offense was led by QB Mike Merritt and offensive weapons Collis Martin, Elliot White, Chris Drayton, Herman Barlow and Brandon Edmonds.
The Bonecrushers continue their three game road trip this Saturday against the Muskegon Thunder before returning home for back to back games at the Boneyard (US Cellular Arena) against the Rock River Raptors on Friday May 23rd and Saginaw Sting on Saturday May 31st
