Mariners in Ship Shape

Baltimore is alive with football fever, but it isn't all about the Raven's joining up at training camp today. The Baltimore Mariners won the American Indoor Football Association's (AIFA) Championship yesterday, in front of a crowd of 6,075 fans.

The Mariners joined the AIFA only three years ago, and already hold the record as the only team in AIFA history to go undefeated.  As well as bringing home the city's 8th pro-football title.

It wasn't all smooth sailing though, the Mariners fell behind 16-0 in the first 6 minutes of the game. Their opponents the Wyoming Cavalry, have played in the last three championships, but have been unable to take the trophy home. Although the Mariner's boat was rocked a little in the first quarter, they were able to pull out a stunning 57-42 win!

As the AIFA gets some years under its belt, the fan base will follow.  Its a proud moment to see the Mariners representing our town so well!

Great Job Guys! Look for us in the crowd next season!
