Texas Rattler's Can't Find Magic Against Outlaws in Night Two of PBR's Cowboy Days

The Texas Rattlers couldn't find the same magic they discovered on Friday during Saturday's game against the Kansas City Outlaws.

If the first night of PBR's Cowboy Days on Friday was one of the most impressive performances of the season for the Texas Rattlers, Saturday was the complete oppositive. 

On Friday, the Rattlers posted an incredible 342.5 team score, one of their highest of the season. That performance was led by the Brady Bunch and was capped with Trace Redd's incredible 91-point ride, the first of his career.

The victory over the Nashville Stampede moved the Rattlers into second place in the standings with an 11-9 record.

On Saturday, the script was completely flipped. 

Texas recorded just one qualified run on Saturday evening, a Joao Ricardo Vieira 87-point ride on Mule Train. Not even Daniel Keeping could pull one out of his magic hat after recording a 2.4-second out on First Class.

The Kansas City Outlaws, on the other hand, put together three qualified rides for a total of 252.75 points. Wingson Henrique da Silva's 83.25-point ride on Rip Tide led the way, while Koltin Hevalow's ride on Train Station and Brady Fielder's turn on Smooth Kat proved to be too much for the Rattlers. 

Texas' loss dropped them to 11-10 on the season and saw them fall to third in the PBR team standings, leapfrogged by the Outlaws themselves.
