The hot-handed Halifax Rainmen continue to roll over most of their PBL opponents this season, and remain undefeated at home, after knocking of the Manchester Millrats 104-83 Sunday at the Metro Centre.
The win, at exactly mid-season, improves the second place Rainmen’s record to 8-2 as the move a half-game up on the idle, Lawton-Fort Sill Cavalry, 7-2. The undefeated Puerto Rico Capitanes, 9-0, continue to lead the PBL.
Tony Bennett had a huge game for the Rainmen, racking up 32-points, 20 of which were scored in the second half. Eric Crookshank was strong off the boards, pulling down 19 rebounds, while adding 18 points. The Rainmen started fast in Sunday’s game with 33 points in the first quarter and never looked back.
The home stand continues this Saturday as the Rainmen look for their fourth consecutive win and their seven straight at home as they take on the Maryland Greenhawks at 7 p.m. at the Metro Centre. A win Saturday could set up a showdown with the first place Capitanes, who visit the Metro Centre on Friday, Feb. 26. Wear Rainmen Blue to show your support!!!!!!
