Some six minutes later Brady Ferguson would walk out of the corner and just will the puck into the back of the Stingrays net to tie the game at one .

Tad Kozun added another goal for the Stingrays to put them back in the lead just 1:14 into the second.

The game would stay at a 2-2 tie after 60 minutes of play. In overtime, Zach O’Brien beat Stingrays goalie Parker Milner short side, just over the glove to give the Growlers the OT victory.
