Chris Hay scooped up a Charger fumble on the opening play of the second half and carried the ball 30 yards to increase the margin to 21-0. Alex McIlmoyle cut the margin to 14 with four minutes later as he was on the receiving end of a 30 yard touchdown pass. Brad Benedetto would add two touchdowns for the Rams on runs of 5 and 26yards.

Replying for the Talons were Justin Leacock with a touchdown and Riley Johnson with a two point convert.

Mike Boehm with a fumble recovery in the end zone following a punt and Andrew Edwards with a 25 yard carry also scored majors for the Tigers, while Graham Klammer delivered a 28 yard punt single.
