PHOENIX (AP) — Nick Davilla led the Arizona to its fourth ArenaBowl berth in five years Saturday night, throwing seven touchdown passes to help the Rattlers rout the Cleveland Gladiators 82-41 in the National Conference championship game.
Davila was 20 of 27 for 222 yards with one interception. Shane Boyd was 4 of 7 for 85 yards and two touchdowns, and Anthony Mos, Maurice Purify and Rod Windsor each had three scoring catches.
Seeking its sixth Arena Football League title, the Rattlers will host the Aug. 26 championship game. In the American Conference final, Jacksonville will face Philadelphia on Sunday night in Allentown, Pennsylvania.
The Rattlers won titles in 1994, 1997 and 2012-14.
Arvell Nelson threw three touchdown passes for Cleveland.
