AVENGERS TONIGHT

vs. Arizona, 6 PST

(10:30, FSN West 2)

Site -- US Airways Arena.

Radio -- 1150.

Records -- Avengers 3-5, Rattlers 4-4.

Record vs. Rattlers -- 1-0.

Update -- The Avengers have won two consecutive games after five losses. In a 60-57 victory over defending ArenaBowl champion Colorado last week, Antuan Simmons and Damen Wheeler made key interceptions. Arizona is led by veteran quarterback Sherdrick Bonner, who needs five touchdown passes to become the fourth player in AFL history to reach 700. The first-place Rattlers, who lost to the Avengers at Staples Center to open the season, are the only Western Division team that does not have a 3-5 record.
