San Antonio Rampage News Release
SAN ANTONIO - The San Antonio Rampage out shot the Houston Aeros 39 to 32 but was unable to come up with the win falling to the West Division leading Aeros 5-3 at the SBC Center Thursday night. San Antonio forwards Mike Bishai and Steve Gainey each had a two-point night as Bishai was named number two star of the night.
Houston jumped to a 3-1 lead after the first period. Houston scored first at 10:46 off the stick of Rem Murray. One minute later Patrick O'Sullivan scored his first of three goals on the power-play from Joe Callahan's roughing penalty. Rampage center Layne Ulmer brought the Rampage within one at 17:14 with help from Gainey and Steve Weidlich as he tallied his first point in his fourth game in a Rampage jersey. O'Sullivan would give the Aeros a two-goal cushion for his second power-play goal of the night with only 20 seconds remaining in the first period to give the Aeros a 3-1 lead.
Rampage defenseman Ray Schultz tallied his first goal of the season 1:43 into the second period with help from Pavel Brendl and Bishai.
O'Sullivan collected his hat trick at the 5:40 mark to give Houston a 4-2 lead. Aeros' Kirby Law stretched the lead to 5-2 less than a minute later. San Antonio's Gainey and David Cornacchia would help Bishai tally his sixth goal of the season and close the gap to a two goal difference, 5-3, at the 9:36 mark. Bishai's goal gave the Rampage their fifth shorthanded goal of the season. The score would hold for the remainder of the game with both teams going scoreless in the closing period.
The Rampage (11-23-1-1) will host the Grand Rapids Griffins on Saturday night at 7 p.m. at the SBC Center.
