For the second time this season, the Destroyers were unable to contend with the Eastern Divisionleading Dallas Desperados.

Clint Dolezel threw five touchdown passes — four to Terrill Shaw — in the Desperados’ 51-30 victory over the Destroyers last night at American Airlines Arena in the Arena Football League.

Destroyers quarterback John Kaleo threw three interceptions, and Dialleo Burks returned one 7 yards for a touchdown in the second quarter as the Desperados built a 31-13 halftime lead.

Kaleo completed 19 of 35 passes for 250 yards and two touchowns for Columbus (5-5). David Saunders caught five passes for 60 yards and a touchdown and Carl Bond had three receptions for 56 yards and a score.

Defensively, Brandon Hefflin led the Destroyers with 10 tackles.

For Dallas (8-2), Dolezel was 22 of 39 for 279 yards. Shaw had 120 yards on seven receptions and Burks added 83 yards on nine grabs.

The season sweep by Dallas included a 52-38 win on Feb. 11 in Nationwide Arena.
The Destroyers return home for a game against Orlando at 3 p.m. next Sunday.
