But the ScareCrows stormed back, scoring twice in a span of 26 seconds to take the lead. Mark Edmundson lifted a close-range shot over a prone Stan Reddick in the Wichita goal to tie it. John Vary's blast from the right point seconds later gave Topeka the lead for good. With time running out, Wichita pulled Reddick for an extra skater, but the plan backfired when Jay Hern found the puck at the blue line and sent it into an empty net. We outplayed them most of the game, and we came together.
Hard work pays off.
Skating in on right wing, Blair Manning dropped a pass to Bob Berg who drove it past Reddick for his 12th goal of the year. But a drive by Chris Felix was disallowed by referee Russ Johnson, who said the puck was directed into the net by Berg's skate. Topeka will try to keep the momentum going when Tulsa visits Saturday. Topeka 0 of 4. Linesmen - Marc Farrar, Scott Hoberg.
