Jarrett Payton Scores 2 TDs

The Chicago Slaughter beat the Alaska Wild 34-33 for its first win of the season Saturday night at the Sears Centre.

Quarterback Randy Hutchinson led the Slaughter (1-3), finishing 15 of 33 for 126 yards with 2 touchdowns. Wide receiver Shatone Powers had 5 catches for 62 yards, and running back Jarrett Payton rushed for 2 TDs.

"We have a bunch of young guys who need to learn how to work together," said Slaughter coach Steve McMichael. "They came out and they wanted to win. The talent is there, but the timing still needs to be perfected. But they are playing hard and they never give up."

After Alaska (2-2) took a 33-27 lead, Payton scored the game-winner on a 1-yard plunge with 31 seconds to play.
