Rattlers bury Barrage in indoor lacrosse

ROCHESTER, N.Y. - John Grant Jr. had four goals and three assists to lead the Rochester Rattlers to a lopsided 22-9 win over the Barrage last night in a Major League Lacrosse game at PAETEC Park.

Matt Striebel got the Barrage off to a short-lived lead with a goal 41 seconds into the game. After Rochester scored twice, Philadelphia regained the advantage on consecutive goals by Seth Goldberg and Justin Smith.

The Rattlers (3-0) took over from there, building a six-goal lead by halftime.

Striebel and Goldberg each finished with two goals for the visitors.

The Barrage suffered their first loss of the season after opening with two victories. Their next game will be Thursday against the Lizards on Long Island.
