SAVANNAH, GA - Seven different goal scorers led the way for the Greenville Swamp Rabbits to power past the Savannah Ghost Pirates 7-4 for the team's third straight win on Friday night at Enmarket Arena.

Greenville grew its lead in the third period, as Alex Ierullo snapped his 10th of the season into the net just 48 seconds into the frame. The Swamp Rabbits added another power-play goal for the 6-3 lead, as Max Martin scored his first ECHL goal with a wrist shot from the high slot at 9:55. Savannah stopped the Swamp Rabbits flood as Spencer Naas scored a breakaway goal at 14:36, before Greenville's Dallas Gerads iced the game with an empty-net goal at 17:03 for the 7-4 final score line.
