Wyatt Kemball continued his torrid pace against the Raiders, scoring the game’s opening goal and adding an assist. A great way to celebrate his birthday!  Shane Bigourdin broke a 1-1 tie in the third with a breakaway goal and Dylan Reinheimer scored the eventual game winner off a rocket shot from the slot. Reiner also took home the Golden Wrench for the team’s hardest worker.  Jacob Gnidziejko stopped 25 of 27 shots to record the victory.
