The Philadelphia KiXX kept their playoff hopes alive after an 11-6 win against the top-seeded Baltimore Blast in front of 6,749 fans at the Wachovia Spectrum. With this win, the club improves to 9-8 overall with the lone remaining contest of the regular season scheduled for next Sunday, March 22.
Defender Billy Nelson had the only score late in the first quarter, putting the visiting Baltimore Blast on top, 2-0, at 11:33. Angel Rivillo scored a two-point goal, assisted by Philadelphia native Pat Morris to knot the two clubs, 2-2, at 8:08 of the second frame.

Philadelphia closed the period scoring and extended their advantage, 6-2, at 12:25 on a swing pass from Ptah Myers to hit John Barry Nusum in the center.

Morris buried a three-point score with just under five minutes remaining on Baltimore's sixth-man attacker, 11-2.
