Barnstormers make it 5 in a row
Pushing across 24 points for the fourth time in its last five
contests, the Central Coast Barnstormers shut out the Oakland
Vipers last Saturday on the road en route to its fifth straight
win, sixth this season.
The Barnstormers, a semi-pro football team based out of Gilroy,
will put its win streak on the line this Saturday when the rival
Salinas Spartans come to the Garcia-Elder Sports Complex.
Central Coast hasn’t lost a game since its Week 2 matchup on
March 21, when the Barnstormers fell to the defending national
champion Pacifica Islanders. Since then, however, the team has been
mowing down the competition on its way to a 6-1 record and 216-133
point differential.
Central Coast, which stands atop the National Conference South
standings, holds a two-game lead in the loss column on the
California Warriors and the Salinas Spartans, both of which carry
matching 4-3 records.
The Barnstormers and Spartans will kick-off at 6 p.m., on
Saturday night in Gilroy. The game will also be the first of a
three-game homestand for Central Coast to wrap up the regular
season.
On May 9, the Barnstormers will host the East Bay Outlaws before
the California Warriors come to Gilroy on May 16 to close out the
season.
