The FallBall Regular Season came to an end Sunday with some good play on the final day.
GAME 1-Once again, Team 1 Outlaws was involved in one of the more exciting games of the day. Good Defense and Goaltending defined the first half of this one. Team 6 Hounds churned out a few nice goals and Matt Ford pitched a first half shutout in the Goal for the Hounds, who led 3-0 at halftime, and seemed to be in control. But momentum changed quickly, as the Outlaws scored 5 unanswered to start the 2nd half, including 2g from John Michael Raasch. They extended the lead to 7-4 on a pair of Michael Cerone goals, to withstand a late surge by the Hounds. A bounce shot by Sam Isola with just under a minute to play made it 7-6, but the Outlaws controlled the ensuing faceoff and thats how it ended. Isola, Christian, and Ben Hastings each chipped in 2 goals in the losing effort.
GAME 2-This game was all Team 2 Bayhawks in the first half. Gen Murphy started it off, scoring 2 of the first 3 goals, and the Bayhawks seemed to be rolling. But Will Kittler scored the first goal for the Team 5 Rattlers, who put up a fight in the 2nd half. Jordan Gans solid play at the midfield, and Kittlers hat trick (Despite playing D most of the 1st half) helped the Rattlers make a game of it, pulling within one. But a short bench and some key injuries left them just a bit too outnumbered against the undefeated top seed, and the game finished 7-6 in favor of the Bayhawks.
GAME 3-Another lopsided affair on the scoreboard, though the Team 3 Cannons gave a pretty good effort in this one. This game was marked by some physical and aggressive play, but the Team 7 Nationals had too much firepower. Adam Stockford led all scorers with his Hat Trick, and the Nationals D was dominant, in the 10-0 win.
GAME 4-This was another hard fought game that could possibly be rematched in the playoffs. Connor McGannon had a day, with 4 goals for the Team 8 Machine. But Andrew Seaman answered the call with 4 of his own for the Team 4 Lizards, including the final 3 to put it away as the game ended 9-6 in favor of the Lizards.
The stage is set for some exciting playoff matches, we look forward to seeing you out there!!
