By Taylor Riemersma

SUNRISE, Fla. – The Nashville Stampede (6-1) continued the organization’s historic run with their sixth consecutive victory Saturday night at Amerant Bank Arena, riding three more bulls to take down the Texas Rattlers (4-3) 259.45-89.15. League No. 1 Nashville set a team record for most consecutive victories Friday night at five and takes the streak of six games into Sunday’s finale at 2026 Freedom Days presented by Breedlove Wound Care.

Alan de Souza (Tremembé, São Paulo, Brazil) scored first in the game with 87.2 points on Dealer’s Choice to put Nashville ahead early. Texas’ Brady Fielder (Clermont, Queensland, Australia) took the lead with an 89.15-point ride on Texas Slim, the sole ride for the Rattlers. Rogério Venâncio (Paranaita, Brazil) regained the advantage for the Stampede, putting up a score of 88.55 points on Political Cowboy. Daniel Feitosa (Guaraci, Brazil) recorded the game’s final score with 83.7 points aboard Lights Out on a re-ride opportunity to defeat Texas three rides to one.

The Florida Freedom (5-2) remained perfect on their home dirt with a second straight victory at Amerant Bank Arena Saturday night, their third consecutive win dating back to Oklahoma City.

Florida only needed one big ride from Austin Richardson (Dallas, Texas) in the opening frame for the win. Richardson’s 89 points aboard Blazin Halos Late Night Toss was enough to down the New York Mavericks (1-6) 89-86.8. Leonardo Castro (Cassilandia, Brazil) recorded his first out and ride of the season on EmmDee in an effort that fell shy of the winning ride.

The Austin Gamblers (3-4) rebounded from a loss Friday night by defeating the Missouri Thunder (3-4) in the first game of the night 178.1-90.6. Jose Vitor Leme (Ribas do Rio Pardo, Brazil), a three-time PBR World Champion and 2024 Teams Champion with the Gamblers, gave Austin an 89.05-point lead after riding the full eight on Linebacker in the first. Missouri’s Felipe Furlan (Sales Oliveira, São Paulo, Brazil) struck back with a monster 90.6-point ride on Geralt in the next out of the game, giving the Thunder the advantage. Sage Steele Kimzey (Strong City, Okla.) earned 89.05 points aboard King Ding A Ling – the winning ride for Austin.

The defending Teams Champion Carolina Cowboys (4-3) went a game above .500 with a 261.95-175.45 victory over the Oklahoma Wildcatters (3-4). Oklahoma took an early lead with an 88.5-point ride by Trace Redd (Malad, Idaho) on Diamond Back, but three consecutive Carolina rides would put the game out of reach. Guilherme Valleiras(Pirassununga, São Paulo, Brazil) led the three-ride streak with 84.95 points aboard Organized Chaos. Keyshawn Whitehorse (McCracken Spring, Utah) was next for the Cowboys, recording 88.95 points on Hoobastank – his first ride score for the team. Adriano Salgado (Batatais, São Paulo, Brazil) topped Hay Train for 88.05 points. The Wildcatters’ Kase Hitt (Dickson, Okla.) recorded an 86.95-point ride on XIT Socks In A Box in the loss.

In a back-and-forth, gritty battle, the Arizona Ridge Riders (4-3) prevailed against the Kansas City Outlaws (2-5) 266.9-174.4. Luciano De Castro (Guzolandia, São Paulo, Brazil) recorded the first ride of the game for Arizona with 89.55 points on The Heat before Kansas City’s Sandro Batista (Pedra Preta, Brazil) responded with 87.05 points on Free Flight. Arizona’s Eduardo Aparecido (Gouvelandia, Brazil) bested Chili Mango for 88.6 points. Hayden Welsh(Gillette, Wyo.) put up the second and final ride for the Outlaws for 87.35 points on Strawberry as the top overall 2026 PBR Teams Draft pick improved to a perfect 2-for-2 in PBR action. Elizmar Jeremias (Anapu, Brazil) punctuated Arizona’s victory with 88.75 points on Power Trip.
