TAMPA, FL (AP) - Gary Anderson scored on a pair of 1-yard runs and John Reaves flipped a 6-yard touchdown pass to Eric Truvillion Saturday night to lead the Tampa Bay Bandits to a 24-0 rout of the winless Oakland Invaders.
The triumph before a Tampa Stadium crowd of 58,777 snapped a three-game slide for the 4-3 Bandits and extended the 0-7 Invaders' losing streak to nine games over two seasons.
Anderson, in his best performance since running for 114 yards and catching six passes for
100 more in a season-opening victory over Houston, rushed for 98 yards on 20 carries.
