Starting the scoring off for Grand Rapids was Eric Soderberg scoring on a 4-yard run. Jake Malec of Proctor would find the end zone shortly after in the second quarter, getting in on a 3-yard rush. Proctor would score again later on in the 3^rd quarter, as it was AJ Maas plunging it in from the 1-yard line. Grand Rapids would have no trouble answering right back, as it was Yurrick sneaking in on a 1-yard run.

The final score of the night would prove to be the deciding factor, as Yurrick found the end zone 19 yards out to secure the win for Grand Rapids. The Rails will take on the Hibbing Bluejackets Friday, Sep.11 in Hibbing. Grand Rapids will look to gain another win, as they will travel to Cloquet to take on the Lumberjacks.
