Tampa Bay Storm News Release
TAMPA -- Aaron Garcia's 3-yard touchdown pass to Sale Key with 35 seconds left gave the Jacksonville Sharks a 46-43 with over the Tampa Bay Storm Friday in an Arena Football League game, but it was Dee Webb's defensive play with 22 seconds remaining that sealed the win.
Tyronnne Timmons' 11-yard reception from Brett Dietz had given the Storm (2-3) a 43-38 margin with 1:13 remaining.
A Tampa Bay onside kick saw the Sharks penalized, but on the second play from the 3-yard line, Garcia found Key for the game-winning score. Backup quarterback Bernard Morris off the snap on an extra point kick ran the ball in for a two-point conversion.
Jacksonville (4-1) took a 38-37 lead with 7:21 on the clock and thanks to linebacker Eric Ortiz' interception of the Sharks' two-point conversion, helped the Storm back in the game.
