It was another great Roller Derby night this past Saturday as the Boston Derby Dames traveling team, the Boston Massacre, eeked out a 112 to 110 win over the Baltimore’s Charm City Roller Girls.

It was a see-saw bout, with the lead exchanging hands a number of times throughout the night. The massacre competed with a couple replacements, but was essentially the same team that took a beating from Philadelphia two months ago. However, they looked like they had been practicing because they were skating a little faster, blocked a little better and on the whole, the team looked like they were more aware of what was going on around them on the track; always a good thing when the competing team’s jammer likes to whip around on the outside of the track.

The next match is the league championship on May 5, at the Shriner’s Auditorium in Wilmington, Mass. The Wicked Pissahs will take on the Cosmonaughties.
