WOLVES DECLAW FIRECATS 47-35

The relentless Wolves defense rattled the Florida Firecats all night while their high-powered offense scored seemingly at will as Manchester declawed the Firecats 47-35 in front of 6,280 faithful at the Verizon Wireless Arena.

The victory was the Wolves third straight as they improved their record to 4-6 while dropping the Firecats to 8-2 and ending Florida's attempt to tie its best start in franchise history. The Wolves, who never trailed in the game, have now won two consecutive home games on Brady Sullivan Field and also avenged a road loss to the Firecats in Florida earlier this season.
While facing a forceful Wolves pass rush and finding his receivers tightly covered for four quarters, Florida quarterback Chris Wallace never got comfortable in the pocket and was sacked four times for a loss of 18 yards and the last sack would prove the most costly. Facing a third-and-goal from the Manchester 6-yd.line with 1:09 left in the game and Manchester up 47-35, Wallace dropped back to throw but could find no one open in the end zone. Manchester's Joe Crear sacked Wallace and forced a fumble, which was recovered by Marvin Wright. All Manchester quarterback James Pinkney, who turned in another oustanding performance, had to do from there was tuck the ball under his arm on three straight plays to run out the clock. 
Pinkney finished the night with 19 completions of 22 attempts for 246 yards with no interceptions and three passing touchdowns plus another two rushing. Wallace was held to 24 completions of 44 tries for 179 yards against no interceptions with four touchdowns through the air.  Bradly Chavez was a force on both sides of the line again and ended the night with honors for both the Cutters Catch of the Game and as the JLS Ironman of the game.
The Wolves will head out to Mahoning Valley next week to face American Conference East Division foe the Thunder on Friday the 13th. Five of the Wolves next six games will be against division rivals so Manchester will have the opportunity to get back into the playoff picture after starting the season 1-6.
