Sarnia vs. Sun County – 10 am game

The Tyke Pacers were on the road Sunday to Leamington for a two-game day. The teams were originally scheduled to meet in early June but the games were cancelled and rescheduled due to the devastation of the tornado that hit the area.

The Pacers scored two goals within the first two minutes of the game. Christian Spitzig scored within seconds after the face-off and Carter Barron scored a goal shortly after, assisted by Brett Vince. Unfortunately, Sun County was also on their game today and scored five goals in the first period giving them the lead by the end of the first period.

The boys started playing more aggressive in the second period and the Pacers would spend four minutes in the penalty box and Sun County would spend six minutes in the box. Carter Barron scored the only Pacers goal this period and Sun County kept up their momentum, scoring three more goals.

The Pacers spent even more time in the penalty box in the third and so did Sun County with six minutes each for both teams. The penalty time didn’t stop Sun County from scoring four more goals.

The final score of the game was 12/3 for Sun County.
