In the second quarter, quarterback Max Duggan threw a long pass to Hakeem Butler, who made the catch for a 30-yard touchdown. St. Louis went for a two-point conversion but did not get it and led the Renegades 6-0 with 1:54 left. Just before halftime, St. Louis kicker Rodrigo Blankenship made a 49-yard field goal for a 9-0 lead.
After a scoreless third quarter, Arlington kicker Lucas Havrisik made a 46-yard field goal to put Arlington on the board. They trailed the Battlehawks 9-3 with 15 minutes left. Later in the fourth quarter, Havrisik made a 26-yard field goal and it was now 9-6 St. Louis with 11:47 left.
