Against the seasoned Mafia duo of AJ Smith and Thomas Rhodes, the Ironmongers imposed their will early and never let off the gas. While Mafia struggled with tempo and failed to settle in, the Dubois duo played with cold precision. The game was effectively over when Jamestown hammered home a 6-point score on the X.

The game went back and forth until Mafia delivered a knockout 6 on the second stretch. From there, they held a narrow lead, applying pressure on every throw. On the final landing, another drop 6 sealed the game. Matt “Matty Ice” Johnson was sensational—delivering four assists and playing nearly error-free.

Ironmongers: Shane Dubois & Nick Everson
The Mafia brought out their big guns in this one—co-captains Erik Johnson and Jake Ferrari. Shane and Nick, teaming up for the first time, were immediately overwhelmed. Mafia opened with back-to-back sixes, applying maximum pressure from the jump. The Ironmongers never recovered, scoring only off two errant waterballs from Mafia. Outside of that, Buffalo was flawless. The game wasn’t just a win—it was a statement.

Buffalo Mafia: Matt Johnson
Ironmongers: Jed Dubois
Matt Johnson continued his red-hot streak into singles play, going head-to-head with Jed Dubois. While Jed had flashes of brilliance, his game was undone by inconsistency. A staggering 14 out-of-bounds crippled his chances. Matt, in contrast, was poised and calculated. His stat sheet showed only one minor error, complemented by a clean kiss on the mark. Another calm and composed showing for Johnson, who continues to look like a top-tier threat in all formats.

Ironmongers: Shane Dubois
Shane Dubois continued his momentum from earlier, delivering an all-around clinic. AJ, despite his high ceiling, had a flat showing.

Buffalo Mafia: Alex Milliner
Ironmongers: Rob Dubois
Alex Milliner looked like his vintage self in this one, reminding fans why he was once considered a top-five player in the league, making little to know mistakes and constantly forcing his opponent on the back foot. Rob Dubois played well overall but couldn’t survive Alex’s three drop 6s, which accounted for 18 of his 21 points. Milliner added 4 knockouts and 3 assists in one of the most dominant solo games of the year.
