Bostonist made the trek up to Wilmington on Saturday to check out the latest Derby Dames bout—the Wicked Pissahs versus the Nutcrackers. Boy, was it worth the ride. The Pissahs crushed the Nuts 142 to 41, reasserting their dominance for a packed house after coming from behind to win last year’s season championship in May. A standout Dame on the Pissahs was Krushpuppy, a rookie roller who scored 15 points in one jam—trust us, that’s a lot. (In the photo above, that’s her in the red with the star on her helmet.) The Nuts will have a chance to make up for the defeat when they face off against the Cosmonaughties on Dec. 8. Photo by Lisa Scanlon.
