Brother Martin (4-6, 1-4) took advantage of two early fumbles by Rummel and led 6-0 in the first quarter.  Rummel scored a running touchdown and tacked on a field goal as the first half ended, heading into the half with a narrow 10-6 lead.

After halftime, the Raiders got the ground game going and eliminated the turnovers which helped them get the win.
