Austin Ice Bats News Release
(Prescott Valley, AZ) - The Ice Bats were looking to bounce back after a loss in game one of their three game set against the Arizona Sundogs at Tim's Toyota Center in Prescott Valley. Unfortunately things progressed the same way as their did in game one, and the Ice Bats fell 4-2 to the Sundogs.
The first period was similar to Wednesday night. Both teams traded blows offensively, but could not put the puck in the net. Then Zech Klann opened up the scoring late in the period banging home his fourth goal of the year. Brendan Cook assisted on the play. At the end of the first period the Ice Bats led 1-0, and outshot Arizona 10-7.
The second period was nothing shot of ugly for the Ice Bats, as the Sundogs would score three unanswered goals to take a 3-1 lead. Mark Kolanos, Chris Bartolone, and Michael Barlett were the goal scorers in the period. At the end of the second it was 3-1, Sundogs.
The third period started strong for the Bats as Brendan Cook scored to pull the Ice Bats within one, just :27 into the period. From there though things only got worse for the Bats frustration would boil over late in the third. A bench minor was called against the Ice Bats when Brent Hughes argued the placement of a faceoff. Tyler Redenbach would make the Ice Bats pay scoring a power play goal to put the Sundogs up 4-2. That would be the final score.
Next up for the Bats is the third and final game of this road trip against Arizona at Tim's Toyota Center. The puck drops at 8:05 CST and can be heard locally on 1530 ESPN Austin and espnaustin.com.
