Augusta, GA - A four goal third period helped the Toledo Storm come back for a 6-5 shootout win over the Augusta Lynx on Friday night at the James Brown Arena.

Brian Passmore and Mike Erickson opened the game with a pair of first period markers to make it 2-0 Lynx after the first period, but Toledo struck quickly 18 seconds into the middle frame on Chris Blight's first of two to make it 2-1.

The Lynx then scored three in a row, with Passmore and Erickson scoring again followed by Aaron Slattengren's tip of a Jason Platt point shot for a 5-1 lead after 40 minutes of play.

In the third, Toledo put together an impressive rally, getting goals from Blight, two from Nick Parillo, and a sixth attacker goal from Mike Walsh to tie the game with just 1:15 remaining in regulation.

A scoreless overtime led to a shootout where Dirk Southern marked first for Augusta, but Toledo scored in rounds three and four to take the shootout and a 6-5 victory.
