Travis Yawger and Mike Racioppi gave Middletown South a commanding 3-0 lead. Brad Heuer scored a pair of goals, one in the 2nd and one early in the 3rd, to get the Lions within 3-2. Lambert’s second goal of the night put the lead back to two at 4-2, but Middletown North had one more surge as John Hallard cut the deficit to 4-3. A Deven Ralph empty net goal sealed the win. Tempers flared in the third period as North’s John Dinnocenzo and South’s Craig Bahrs received disqualifications for fighting.
