Tough loss for sinking Rough Riders, 5-3.
The gold Rough Riders were once had a firm grip on 3td place,
Now 3rd place is in jeopardy, as the last place Navy team has won 3 in a row, and are now within one point of the gold team. This sets up next Fridays game as a loser takes last place game. This week they were never in the game after blowing a 2-0 first preriod lead, as the Fuji led Fore Fathers scored 4 of the next 5 en route to the 5-3 final. "Losing George Howard and Pat Deskin was supposed to help us," said Brian Armand. "I don't think any of us were counting on picking up Todd Nichol and Al Peterson. It's like having three Steve Hardy's on the team." Trevor Armand, Zack Armand and Steve Hardy had the RR goals. Though, Zack hasn't been the same since they asked him to play first base. "There's alot of unhappy people on this team," said Bob Powell. "Espeically when they heard I wasn't one of the players leaving." For the navy team, Steve Thompson scored 4 goals, including a league leading empty net goal. Martin Tremblay had the other goal. "I think adding Tom Conway to the team has really taken the pressure off of Bobrycki to carry the offense," noted Jimmy D. "Now I actually have someone who will pass to me." As mentioned, the navy win now has them with 6 points, just one behind the Riders who have 7. Check out our great new box score here. |
