Kars Aces and Manotick Blitz tie - twice (from Wednesday)
Info from Chad Milne
The Kars Aces and Manotick Taylor's Blitz met up for a doubleheader on Wednesday night in Manotick after the games originally scheduled for Tuesday in North Gower had to be moved due to diamond issues which involved a dog being shocked (seriously).
Kars 3 Blitz 3
The first game of the evening ended in a 3-3 draw. Brad Porter threw for Kars while Jamie Blakely and Derick Bulley were on the slab for Manotick.
