The final game of the night was the black and blue game, and it sure was. Surprisingly though it wasn't Weinberg, Mullen, or even Barry dishing out the body shots. Not only were there body shot, but there were plenty of shots on goal too. Bozio saw 45 shots and Botolino 32, according to Murf. The blue team led all the way in this one, racking up 11 goals for Paul Botolino, and he somehow made those 11 goals stand up. Joe Mullen once again was the stud for the blue team, probably because he was out there with Shaky Fowler. Atleast that's what Shaky says. The game nearly turned in favor of the black team when Phil Oreto called Dan Armstrong for getting run over by an out of control Alex Nicolaou. The black team scored on the ensuing powerplay. "I thought it was the right call until I saw Alex fall over all by himself several times on the powerplay," said Oreto. "Then I realized Armstrong was as innocent as OJ." The PPG cut the lead to 5-4 and then EMRHL veteran Scott Farber scored to tie the game at 5-5. "I think I was just trying to ice the ball and it went in," said Farber. The blue team would rebound and regain the lead before the 2nd period ended, and then cruised with 19 third period shots to just 6 for the black team. "I'd still rather have Bozio in net than AK," said Barry Moore.
