The 2009 United Bowl was a highly anticipated event in both Billings and the Greater St. Louis area, as the Billings Outlaws hosted the RiverCity Rage in what would and up being the franchise's final game. RiverCity fell behind Billings quickly (this slow start cost them the game), as the score was 20-7 heading into the second quarter and was 34-20 at halftime. The pace stayed pretty much the same throughout the rest of the game as the Outlaws beat the Rage, 71-62 for their third franchise title.
