November 15, 2003 - ECHL (ECHL)
Dayton Bombers News Release
Jason Deskins continued his torrid pace with a first period goal at the eight-minute mark, but the Peoria Rivermen edged the Dayton Bombers 4-3 at Carver Arena in Peoria, Illinois Saturday night.
Alex Kim, Bret DeCecco, Trevor Read, and Brendon Brooks scored for Peoria, which never trailed in the contest.
Deskins scored after Peoria scored two goals in a :32 mark early to go up 2-0. He broke in on the wing, took a slap shot that was stopped by goalie Levente Szuper, then persevered to put his own rebound into the net. Deskins has eight goals in eight Bombers' games and in five straight.
Janne Jokila and Martin Paquet also scored for the Bombers, while goalie Andrew Penner made 29 saves in defeat.
Today (11/16, 4:00 p.m.), the Bombers will revisit the Rivermen and their popular "Kids' Silly Sunday" theme once again with a home game against Peoria at the Ervin J. Nutter Center. The event will feature balloon animals, the Magic of Robert Edwards, a Moonwalk Inflatable, and face painting, as well as other fun-filled festivities for kids. In addition, 4,000 Bomber Banger Sticks will be given away. Value City Furniture, Advance Auto Parts, Pontiac, and WTUE-FM will be presenting the Bomber Banger Sticks promotion.. The first 500 kids 12 and under will receive a free Pepsi and a Marchele-Pretzel.
