Win to keep your season alive.
That was the scenario facing the 91Ô´´ Jr. Thunder Sunday at the 91Ô´´ Events Centre.
It wasn’t to be as the visiting Victoria Shamrocks won a one-game wildcard playoff showdown 8-7, thus ending the Jr. Thunder’s BC Junior A Lacrosse League (BCJALL) campaign.
The Shamrocks carried a 7-4 lead into the third period.
A furious comeback that saw the Jr. Thunder outscore the Shamrocks 3-1 in the third period fell short.
With the loss, the Thunder (12-9) will be on the outside looking in as the BCJALL playoffs continue.
The Shamrocks now face the first place Coquitlam Adanacs in a five-game semifinal, while the Port Coquitlam Saints and New Westminster Salmonbellies square off in the other series.
T-MEN AXED
On Saturday, the Thunder downed the Nanaimo Timbermen 13-7 at the LEC.
