OKLAHOMA CITY - The San Antonio Rampage (3-1-0-0) overcame a three-goal deficit to beat the Oklahoma City Barons (0-2-1-0) for their first road win of the season, an action-packed 5-4 victory at the Cox Convention Center.

The Barons struck first on a power play goal by Jason Williams. The puck went through the net, and the goal was validated by video replay and credited to Williams. San Antonio defenseman Jonathan Racine received a five-minute match penalty for a check to the head and was ejected from the game with less than two minutes remaining in the first period.

Williams added his second power play goal of the night to open the second period scoring. Oscar Klefbom added another goal for the Barons just 13 seconds later, tallying Oklahoma City's third goal of the night with the man advantage.

The Rampage followed shortly after with their first goal of the night, a tally by Shane O'Brien at 8:47. Vincent Trocheck, who recorded the assist on O'Brien's goal, scored just 18 seconds later, capping a furious scoring frenzy that saw four goals scored by the two teams in a 2:25 stretch.

Iiro Pakarinen put the Barons up by two, taking a pass from Klefbom on a 2-on-1 break and putting the puck past Michael Houser. The Rampage would take some momentum into the intermission, as Connor Brickley notched his first goal of the season two seconds before time expired in the period.

Ryan Martindale got on the board to open the third period, converting on a pass from Drew Shore to tie the game at four at 12:42. The Rampage took advantage of a power play opportunity late in the third period, as John McFarland scored his first of the season to give the Silver and Black the 5-4 win.

Houser captured his second win of the season, making 22 saves on 26 shots. San Antonio outshot the Barons 30-26, marking the fourth time this season the Rampage have outshot their opponent. The Rampage, playing with only 16 skaters for the last 40 minutes rallied from deficits of 3-0 and 4-2 to earn the victory.
