The Liners would score 4 unanswered goals in the second period. Toe knocked in a loose puck through the five hole. Kaner Jr. wristed a loose puck after into the upper net after dekeing the goalie. MK slipped in a backhander just inside the post. Finally, Jimmie blasted a slapshot from the mid-slot off a rebound. Ignotz would knock in 2 more goals of their own as they swarmed around Jimbo, the Red Liners netminder. A mystery goal was knocked in by the Liners between these two Ignotz goals to ratchet up the score to 7-3.
The third period had 4 more unanswered goals by the Liners. Kaner Jr alternated goals with Ty near the post and Don popped in the puck just inside the far post. Ignotz did manage a final 4th goal with a few remaining minutes.
