The BayHawks have now won two straight after losing their first game of the season to Ft. Wayne.

Alton Ford started strong but faced a fierce double-team from Erie in the second half. Ford scored 14 of his 18 points in the first half, and also hauled in six rebounds in the loss for RGV. Smush Parker scored 17 and dished out six assists while Quin Humphrey rounded out the double-digit Viper scorers with 10.
