On This Day: Shreveport Pirates blow big lead in Canadian Football League home debut
After a rough debut in the Canadian Football League, the Shreveport Pirates it looked like a little home cooking was all the team needed.
A little more than 20,000 fans greeted the team for its Independence Stadium debut and the Toronto Argonauts looked out of place in Louisiana after the Pirates took a 17-point lead early in the third quarter.
In a flash, the lead was gone. And so was Toronto’s 18-game road losing streak in the NFL with a stunning 35-34 victory.
A 63-yard touchdown pass from Mike Kerrigan to Jeff Fairholm with 8:07 remaining helped the Argonauts take the lead for good.
Things looked good early after a pair of Bjorn Nitmo field goals preceded a 64-yard touchdown run by Shreveport’s Reggie Barnes. Quarterback Terrence Jones then hit Wayne Walker for a 64-yard touchdown.
Jones and Gill Fenerty both added 1-yard scoring runs for the Pirates.
