Direct from the online rulebook at
http://www.fasa.com/Shadowrun/SRTCG/SRTCGRules/SRTCGRulesTOC.html:
"If a single Runner is fighting against several opponents, the single
Runner's owner chooses where to allocate the damage."
Since spirits/drones are treated as runners in combat, if Cannonball goes
up against Roadrash, Cannonball can apply his damage to directly to
Roadrash without going through the two drones first.
