Then the second quarter started, on the first play of the quarter, running back Justin Cummings took the first of his two touchdowns to the house. Not even 30 seconds later Barney found Drew Batchelor to push the lead to 21-0. Taylor Berry was the next Flyer to score — it was his first touchdown of the season.
Cummings broke a 57-yard touchdown run for his second score of the game – Cummings finished the game with 95 rushing yards.
