springfield, il  - The Capital City Outlaws eight-man football team won it’s second game of the season Sunday afternoon, defeating the Tazwell Tigers 18-8 at Rotary Park in Springfield.

 Troy Helton led the dominating defense, snagging 3 interceptions while Mike Daily had four sacks. Helton also had 12 tackles and 4 assists.

 “This was an extremely physical game” said Outlaws coach Chris Lawson. “We had a few dropped balls that would have been touchdowns, but that comes with playing in windy conditions. We have a lot of offensive threats, and it’s only a matter of time before we are hitting on all cylinders.”
