The Invaders improved their record to 2-0 and moved up to 3rd in the South Division of the SMFFL with an 18-12 victory over the Braves. The Invaders forced the Braves to punt on their first drive. The Invaders first drive was also halted, when the Braves intercepted a lazy pass attempt from QB Joseph Chaney Jr., to BB Mike Hawkins and returned it 80 yards for the games first touchdown. The Braves 1-point conversion pass attempt was unsuccessfully, when CB Derrick Williams (D-Nice) nearly intercepted it. The Invaders responded and struck back on their second possession. Chaney began the drive with a 15 yard pass to TE Danny Gay. On second down, Chaney completed a 55 pass to WR Anthony Weekes to tie the score at 6-6. The 1-point conversion attempt was unsuccessful. The Invaders stopped the Braves on their second drive when D-Nice intercepted an overthrown pass and returned it to the 50 yard line.

The Braves took advantage of the Invaders inability to put them away and drove the ball 90 yards to tie the score at 12-12. The Braves conversion attempt was no good. Chaney returned the ensuing kickoff to the Invaders 42 yard line. On second down, Chaney completed a 40 yard pass to TE Tim Black.

With less than 20 seconds left, the Invaders kicked the ball off in play, which provided the Braves with an opportunity for a return. The Braves took advantage of the Invaders ridiculous mistake and executed an outstanding 95 yard kickoff return, which consisted of a lateral, for a touchdown. Fortunately, for the Invaders, the lateral was forward and therefore illegal. With one second left, Rusher Greg Kelley batted down the Braves last pass attempt to secure the victory for the Invaders. The Invaders defense, led by rushers Ricardo Williams, William Foster, Greg Kelley, Tracy Brown, Reggie Washington and Lawrence Upson II showed improvement.
