Winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Kuna). They sure made it a nail-biter, but they managed to escape with a 13-12 victory over the Twin Falls Bruins on Monday. That result was just more of the same for these two, as the Kavemen also won the last time the pair played back in April of 2025.
