Another comeback late in the third period led to another overtime victory over Norfolk as the BEARS won 3-2 Saturday night at GIANT Center. The win was HERSHEY'S 16th of the season, and it kept the BEARS one point back of first place Wilkes-Barre/Scranton

Norfolk came out early in the first period and scored from an unlikely source. Rugged forward Reed Low scored his first goal of the season on Norfolk's first shot of the game. The marker at 2:50 gave the Admirals the early lead, but the BEARS would rally before intermission. Kyle Wilson scored his fourth goal of the season at 15:28 on the power play from Lawrence Nycholat and Alexandre Giroux. The BEARS outshot Norfolk 12-10 in the first period and went to the dressing room tied at one.

After a scoreless second period, Norfolk would take a 2-1 lead when Troy Brouwer scored into an empty net vacated by Frederic Cassivi. Cassivi went to play a puck behind the net when a bad bounce threw the puck out to the top of the net where Brouwer took advantage. The BEARS tied the game late when Chad Wiseman scored his sixth of the season at 17:26, and Eric Fehr won the game with his 13th of the season 1:07 into overtime. HERSHEY outshot Norfolk 23-1 in the third period and overtime to come from behind. The win was the 16th of the season for the BEARS against just three regulation losses.
