GLENS FALLS - Patrick Grasso and Jarrod Gourley each scored for the Adirondack Thunder in a 4-2 loss to the Worcester Railers in front of a sellout crowd of 5,168 at Cool Insuring Arena on Saturday night.

Patrick Grasso opened the scoring for Adirondack at 9:37 of the first frame. Grasso took a pass from Jarrod Gourley and sent a low shot into the net for his first of the year. Gourley and Nick Rivera collected the assists.
Just 23 seconds after that, Gourley shot a wrister into the net from the bottom of the right circle to tie the game at two. Shane Harper and Sebastian Vidmar recorded the helpers, and the tying goal came exactly 10:00 into the first period. The game was tied after 20 minutes of play with the Thunder leading in shots, 12-6.
