Roller: Squirrels 5, Jesters 4 (SO)

In what was one of the most bizarre finishes of the season, the Squirrels defeated the Jesters 5-4 after a 9-round shootout Tuesday.

Up 4-2 in the second on goals by Casey Carpenter, Mark Tessar, Ben Sumner and Carpenter again, the Squirrels then surrendered two down the stretch. In the shootout, Carpenter scored the game-saver in the third round, then the winner in the ninth round. As one of the Jesters skated up for his second shot of the shootout, he overskated the puck not once, but three times, before the play was called dead, giving the Squirrels the victory. The same player had previously scored in the second round. Greg Hainer also scored in the shootout.
