The Pittsburgh Maulers improved to 1-4 with an exciting last-second 21-20 win over the Houston Gambler on Sunday afternoon at Protective Stadium in Birmingham, Ala.
The Maulers opened the game with possession. On third-and-four from the Houston 45, QB Kyle Lauletta found WR Bailey Gaither down the right sideline for a 31-yard gain to the Houston 14. However, Pittsburgh couldn’t find the end zone, and K Rahmiz Ahmed missed a 38-yard field goal and the score remained 0-0.
RB Mark Thompson broke off a 39 yard run on the second play of the Gamblers’ drive, and Houston was in business.
