The loss snapped the Bombers' three-game winning streak (3-4-0). Deskins gave the Bombers a 1-0 lead at the 10:26 mark of the first period when his shot trickled past Wheeling goalie Tyler MacKay. But the Nailers quickly responded, getting goals by Chris McNamara, Brendan Hodge, and Mike Lephart before period's end. J.F. Dufour, Lephart, and Steve Crampton added goals during a second period in which the Nailers outshot the Bombers 15-4. Hodge, Arpad Mihaly, and Dufour added third period scores for the Nailers.
