Ballers fall in OT to Bunker Boys, 6-5.
The green Ballers blew a late lead, then lost in OT.
It was the two best teams in the league fighting for first place. A goal with 1:35 to play gave the green Ballers a 5-4 lead.but the game was far from over. Jake Silk was set up by Andy Long and also a rare Mark Melito assist, and with just over a minute to play the game was tied. Then in OT, after all the good guys had taken a shift, Joe Surette got the call, and he was spoonfed a nice pass from Lloyd for the game winner. The red Bunker Boys are now in first place, and have a one point lead over this green Ballers team. "As soon as they get their downgrade, they'll start losing again," said Mark Kramer. "In fact, I hope I'm the one that gets traded there." Despite the win, red remained humble. "I told the boys to not plan the parade yet," said Andy Long. "We lost our only true defenseman in Trevor. It's gonna be hard filling his skates." For green, it was more frustration. "We have to start winning some games against teams that we don't shoot on Fuji," commented John Ragucci. "I mean, I'm the only one scoring right now." Check out our great new box score here. |
