Pelham, Ala - The Birmingham Bulls (15-28-5-1) split a weekend series in the Crown Coliseum with the Fayetteville Marksmen this past weekend to remain in the SPHL playoff hunt. Birmingham fell on Friday night 4-3 after two late goals by the Marksmen to give them their 34th victory of the season. Birmingham came back strong on Saturday night with a 5-4 victory over the Marksmen, in a shootout with the game-winning goal coming from Jake Pappalardo, scoring the lone goal between both teams in the shootout.
Despite dropping the first of two games against the Fayetteville Marksmen last weekend, Birmingham remains in the playoff hunt behind the Roanoke Rail Yard Dawgs. Roanoke (20-23-3-4) won on Friday and Saturday night against the Macon Mayhem to hold steady with a nine point lead over the Bulls with just three weeks remaining in the regular season.
