Ratz Sink Pirate’s Ship
Blacks Harbour, NB – The term “sloppy” may be a word to describe a lot of things and it would be a good one to describe the tilt between the Bonny River Ratz and the Lepreau Pirates. The Ratz prevailed 8-7 in the see-saw affair.
Joe Stevens of the Ratz showed why he wears the “C’ on his jersey by potting 4 goals including the winner while hot hands Greg Justason and Jim Buchanan each chipped in with a pair. The trio of Buchanan, Stevens and Justason are 1, 2, 3 in team scoring and they showed why figures never lie and liars never figure. The Pirates got their offense from Trevor “Golden Hands” Lomax’s hat trick and Ryan “Pudge” Lee, Keaton McKay, Jay Jones and Greg Buchanan added singletons.
The Pirates first star Trevor Lomax was dejected with the outcome. He said, “We had this game in our hands and let is slip away. That empty net goal by Stevens that made the score 8-6 really hurt us. I was proud of the way the boys rallied after it though and scored while we still had the goalie pulled though. We never have to get motivated to play the Ratz.”
Stevens thought the Ratz were “persistent” in their pursuit of the victory. He noted, “For us to score five goals in the third period when we really needed it was something to see. I liken it to getting the runs. You realize you’re in a mess and then you know you have to move fast to avoid a stinky outcome. That’s what we did tonight.”
