Denver’s Jeff Sonke earned game MVP honors with four goals including a 2-pt goal.

| |  | | Rattlers Hold Off Machine Behind Grant's 8 Goals, 19-15.
Aug 10, 2008 - The Chicago Machine had hopes today of handing the Rochester Rattlers a loss and move the Machine’s record to 4-9, but the Machine fell flat in the first quarter as Rochester tallied 8 goals. The Machine couldn’t do anything right in the first quarter and for their play, they should have been using shovels, rather than crosses, given the depth of the hole they dug for themselves, as John Grant found the net eight times, four times in the first quarter. Chicago’s offense finally sputtered to life toward the end of the first and then roared back to life in the second, scoring eight times to trail by only two at halftime. The lack of gas in the Machine’s tank doomed them in the fourth when they let the Rattlers take a two goal lead.
