Trask opened the scoring at 8:59 of the first period from Jeff Sanders and Shawn Skelly. Skelly would later add a goal and assist for a three point night, giving him a team leading 21 points and moving him into second place in the league scoring race.
Michael Montagna made it 2-0 before the first period ended from Trask and Matt Robertson. Ryan Michel and Shawn Skelly each scored power play goals in the second period for the Mayhem. Michel's goal came just 48 seconds into the period. It was the first time this season the Mayhem has scored two power play goals in a game.
Macon goaltender Garrett Bartus came within 2:37 of his third shutout of the season, but John Daniels shorthanded goal ruined that bid.
