Last place Gunslingers beat first place Showboats, 6-4.
Without any upgrades (yet), the last place Gunslingers got only
their 2nd win of the season, knocking off the first place
Showboats, handing them only their 2nd loss of the season.
So yeah, the last place team beat the first place team. It happens. Not often, but it happens. It was 1-1 after one as Thompson and Onello traded goals. Thompson would actually score all 4 goals for the red Showboats in the loss. After Thompson and Silk traded goals, DeFilippis would tip home a Jake Silk shot as the Gunslingers held a slim 3-2 lead. But Thompson sturck again on his own rebound to send it to the third tied at 3-3. In that final period, Bob Powell, yes that Bob Powell, and JA each scored to counter the 4th Thompson goal, for a 5-4 Gunslinger lead. JA hit the empty net with time expiring to give the green team the 6-4 win. "Out of my way," said Fuji as he stormed off the ice. "I need to get out to that breakfast table to give some people some big time crap." A stunned Andy Long could only say," We're a different team with Ben in net." The Showboats still have a 5 point lead over the 2nd place Stallions with 3 games left. Check out our great new box score here. |
