The Evansville Thunderbolts would score twice in the final 20 minutes, first on a shorthanded goal by Shayne Morrissey at 6:03, unassisted. The gap would be cut to two goals at 9:17 as Ben Owen fired home a wrist shot from Eric Salzillo and Scott Donahue. For both Morrissey and Owen, it was their second goal in as many games.
