USL Pro: Pittsburgh Riverhounds 0:2 LA Blues - Maxwell Griffin played a role in both goals on either side of the break. He kicked it off by collecting a long diagonal ball in the 38th and sending it toward goal only to have it deflect off a defender and, fortunately, to the path of Brian Farber to give them the lead. Nine minutes into the second half a defensive giveaway forced by Matt Fondy allowed Maykel Galindo to find Griffin to double the lead. Galindo nearly made it three in the 73rd when Blum was tackled by the keeper, sending Galindo to the spot only to see him denied with a nice save by Greg Blum. - MORE
