The National Lacrosse League can put together an NHL-style brawl every once in a while, and on Friday night, two players dropped their gloves and threw fists during a game.
Toronto Rock defenseman Elijah Gash went punch-for-punch with Buffalo Bandits defenseman Zack Belter in the third quarter. Belter came after Gash after a big hit from the rock star. After that it was full tilt.

Gash gained the upper hand as they both dropped their gloves. He connected with a right hand and dropped Belter to the mat.
Gash is the son of former NFL running back Sam Gash. The former NFL star won a Super Bowl with the Baltimore Ravens in 2000.
He played in the league from 1992 to 2003 with the Ravens, New England Patriots and Buffalo Bills.

“Great teams find a way to win at the end of the day,” Buffalo’s Dhane Smith said via the team’s website. “We’re a great team and they’re trying to figure out their identity.
“At the end of the day, we have to win these kinds of games and we were able to do that tonight, so we have to look forward to Philadelphia now.”
The Bandits are 4-0 to start the year and the Rock are 0-5.
