SPRINGFIELD, Mo. – The Austin Gamblers and Arizona Ridge Riders each won their games in decisive fashion in the second night of action of Thunder Days at Great Southern Bank Arena to go 12-4 on the season, tied for the league-best record. The Florida Freedom had their five-game winning streak snapped, moving them into second place in the standings midway through the sixth event of the 12-event PBR Teams regular season, while the surging Oklahoma Wildcatters won for the fifth time in the last six games.

The red-hot Gamblers won 345.75-168.5 for the tenth time in the last 11 games courtesy of four big rides from Jose Vitor Leme (88), Sage Steele Kimzey (87), Callum Miller (86), and Dalton Kasel (84.75). Leme, the league’s MVP in its first two seasons, is now 6 for 9 on the season. Austin improved to 12-4 and No. 1 in the league based on tie-breaker points as the Stampede fell to 6-10.

The Arizona Ridge Riders rode three bulls of their own to shut out the Carolina Cowboys 258-0 and improve to 12-4, tied for the best record in the league. Carolina fell to 6-10. Arizona took the lead with a ride by Everton Natan da Silva for 87.75 points, and Murilo Henrique de Oliveira scored 84.75 points to ultimately seal the victory. Arizona’s final ride came by Luciano De Castro for 85.5 points in the shutout victory.

The Texas Rattlers improved to 9-7 with an 87.75-87.5 outing against the 3-13 New York Mavericks. While both squads earned one qualified ride, Daniel Keeping’s initial 87.75 points in the second frame was enough for the win. New York’s Mauricio Gulla Moreira brought the game back within a quarter point with an 87.5-point score, but it was not quite enough to catch Texas.

The Kansas City Outlaws improved to an even 8-8 on the season, defeating the Florida Freedom 87.25-85.75 to end the latter’s five-game win streak.  João Lucas Campos’ early 85.75-point ride gave the Freedom an advantage before the Outlaws’ Julio Cesar Marques rode Ceasar for 87.25. In a game full of buck offs and re-rides, those were the only two scores that stood in the end as the Outlaws upset one of the league’s hottest teams.

The Oklahoma Wildcatters claimed its second straight win in Missouri and fifth in the last six games, moving to 6-10 on the season, in a 172-170.25 outing against the 6-10 home team Missouri Thunder. The Thunder had rides in the first and final frames by Paulo Eduardo Rossetto and Boudreaux Campbell respectively. Oklahoma’s Josh Frost lasted eight on Lever Action for 87.25 points before the game was taken in the fifth frame by Cort McFadden on Fire Kat for 84.75 points.

The bulls came out in full force on the second night of Thunder Days, going 33-17.

Thunder Days concludes Sunday at 1:45 p.m. CT and is set to be streamed on CW. Florida vs. Kansas City and Oklahoma vs. Missouri will air on the CBS Games of the Week on Sunday at 12 p.m. CT.
