The Omaha AAA vs. Springfield Battle Broads bout started off with a tremendous power jam by Omaha’s Midlife Crashes, totaling 25 points. The momentum continued with eblastagirl skating a 14 point jam, and Bohemian Brusin’ BombshElle scoring 13 points soon after.

Springfield Roller Girls took the Omaha All Stars by surprise during the first few jams of the bout. In the first 10 minutes, Springfield had pulled the score ahead 53-3. Omaha quickly regained their composure and held Springfield’s jammer back for a 29 point grand slam by Omaha’s Ima Firestarter.
