After surrendering two 1st period goals and heading into the break trailing 2-0, the Pirates were struggling against the Chiefs. Then we juggled the defensive pairs and cued the music ... and “The Scott LeMatty Show” began.
Scott would score four times in-a-row — spearheading a barrage of six, unanswered Pirate tallies — to take the fight out of the Cannibals and give the Pirates their second Sunday win two games. Although Jay and Tony would also connect (the first and last goals of the night), the story was all Scott as everything he shot seemed to find net — including two precision passes (from Gucci and Farkas) that he put topshelf.
After taking a 6-2 lead, the Cannibals attempted a comeback and were able to score two late goals, but stellar defense kept them from closing the gap any further.
