The Apollos couldn’t find the end zone on the drive, but former South Carolina K Elliott Fry knocked home a field goal to cut the Commanders’ lead to six:

Since you have to go for two in the AAF, another touchdown by the Apollos would make things quite interesting. The game is being shown on the CBS Sports Network.
