The Kohlfeld Scorpions Rugby Club pulled off a big upset last weekend by beating the St. Louis Bombers 39-38.

The Bombers are perennial Missouri Union powers and the Scorpions had not beaten them in several years.

"This is the biggest win for us in the last few years," said coach Tim Joplin. "Everything came together for us. It was thrilling."

Scorpion scorers included Doug Childers, Marty Hendershott and two trys each by Dan Grimm and Freddy Escobar. Sean Hagan provided three conversions and one penalty kick.

Trailing 14-12 at halftime, the Scorpions rallied for a 26-14 lead early in the second half and the Bombers could never regain the lead.

The Scorpions' next home game will be April 24 against the Paducah (Ky.) Flood.
