Drew Ruggles scored his second hat trick in four games to lift the Florida Tropics to a 7-3 win over David Bascome’s Baltimore Blast at the RP Funding Center.
Ruggles had a hat trick in the Tropics season-opening win, also against the Blast, in Baltimore on Dec. 10th as Florida took a tense 7-6 win.
Friday's game was less in doubt. Although Baltimore scored the game's first goal, the Tropics got six of the next seven to comfortably pull away. Florida improves to 3-0-1 on the season (10 points) to move into first place in the MASL's eastern division. Baltimore falls to 2-3-1 (five points).
