SaberCatsRecap
The LA Giltinis host the Houston SaberCats as the men from the Lone Star State travel to the pacific.
The travel may have taken it out of the ‘Cats, because this game was very much a one-way affair. A consolation try towards the end of the game was the only time that Houston got on the board and by that point, the Giltinis had already passed the half century.
The final score of 52-5 set a new MLR record for the largest winning margin in league history (47), just surpassing the previous record set by the Toronto Arrows against Seattle (45) set earlier in 2021. This record would stand until Round 11 of the 2022 MLR season, when the Austin Gilgronis would defeat the Dallas Jackals by a score of 3-57, a margin of victory of 54pts.
