Charlotte, N.C. - The Charlotte Checkers and the Columbia Inferno would play the second game of a home and home series tonight at St. Lawrence Homes Home Ice and it would only take one goal to tell the story.
In the first period, the lone goal came off the stick of Checkers forward, Dusty Jamieson after defenseman, Jared Nightingale sent a puck wide on the Inferno net where forward, Jordan Owens sent it through the crease and Jamieson knocked it past a sprawling Inferno goaltender, Jeff Jakaitis at 16:49.
