6th Period: The turning point of this game would have seemed to come when the Elitist coach put Eugene Dixon on Freight Train Lane, and early in the period, Lane was rudely introduced face first in to the safety rail, and knocked cold.. (out for the rest of the game.)

But then, with 2:20 to play, the Dialanetics broke free, and went for broke, and it was the Elitists who were broke, as substitute jammer Bobby Powers scored a full jam, passing all 5 Elitist defenders to give the Dialanetics a 1 point lead.. 22-21!

Time was running out, and with just 1:00 to play when the pack led off, the Elitists weere in big rouble.. if they didn't get a jam off, the game was over, but the rules in roller derby state that once a jam has started, theperiod does not end until after the end of the jam, so if an Elitist jammer got free, they had a full minute to Jam.

And with :08 to play, the Elitists fans roared as Young broke through the pack! The jam was on! He looked behind him for help, but Roy was caught up at the back of the pack.. and Young was the Elitists only hope. The Jam Clock was ticking down, and they needed something.. with five seconds on the jam, KA Ton, at the front of the pack, hipchecked a Dialanetic har enough to send him into the infield, and with 2 seconds left in the jam, Young had scored one point!

When the final buzzer sounded, it was bedlam. We have a 22-22 tie..

And since there are no ties in Roller Derby,.. this will get settled the old fashioned way... in a three lap MATCH RACE. The winner of the Match Race will win his team one point, and thus, the game..

Both teams went deep into the huddle, and selected who would skate in the match race..
