In the second game of the 2015 season, the Hammers were outscored 31-nothing in the second quarter and fell to the Raiders 60-45. On Saturday, the Hammers (3-2) will bring a much different, more in-tune squad to the carpeted floor of the VBC arena to face the 2-4 Raiders.

Meanwhile, the Hammers will counter with quarterback Garrett Sutphen who has hit on 51-percent of his passes (114/223) for 29 touchdowns. Receivers Mico McSwain (54/689/9) and Charles McClain (37/505/12) bring a one-two punch to the game unlike any other team in the Professional Indoor Football League (PIFL). McClain was an honorable mention candidate for Offensive Player of the Week in the PIFL for his effort against Columbus last week (11/159/5).
On defense, defensive back Ginikachi Ibe was named the PIFL Defensive Player of the Week for an outstanding game against Columbus pulling down three interceptions and having seven tackles in the Hammers 74-53 loss to the Lions.
