Tough night for Fishers Freight, losing to Bay Area 57-41

Fishers Freight take the field

Penalties, pass interceptions and defensive lapses added up to a home loss for the Fishers Freight at the Event Center Saturday night.  Bay Area  had the Freight’s number as they forced a fumble late in the game to seal their 57-41 victory.

Freight starting quarterback Jiya Wright was ill and unable to play.  Fishers Quarterback Keegan Shoemaker had success running ball, but 4 interceptions cost dearly.

The Freight were in the game a good part of the way, trailing 16-14 at the end of Quarter 1.  Bay Area extended their lead at halftime to 38-28.  The game began to get out of hand early in the third quarter, with Bay Area pulling ahead 45-28.

The Fishers Freight prepare to face the Iowa Barnstormers a week from tonight in Des Moines.  They return to the Fishers Event Center May 3rd to take on the Quad City Steamwheelers.
