06-21-2009 9:26 pm
For the first time in league history the road team won a
conference championship game on the road. The problem was, the Mayhem were
the home team. Marion fell in a shocker 49-40 on Saturday, one game
away from playing for the league title. The Fort Wayne Freedom, who Marion defeated in two out
of three contests this year, scored twice in the final 41 seconds to pull off
the upset. Marion's offense was anemic, accounting for just 103
total yards in the game. Mike Tatum did have a 57 yard kickoff return and Walter
Dudley added a 9-yard interception return to go along with 2 Tavares Woodley
touchdown tosses. Fort Wayne will now play the Chicago Slaughter for the
CIFL Championship.
