The Cornwall Colts grabbed five out of a possible six points to inch closer to first place in the Robinson Division. The Colts have moved to within four points of first place Carleton Place Canadians in the Robinson after salvaging a point against the Smiths Falls Bears on Thursday in Cornwall, followed by back-to-back wins against the Hawkesbury Hawks and the Gloucester Rangers Sunday. Kyle Baun scored with 9:31 left in the third period to give the Colts the win in Glouces- ter with assists going to Tyson Spink and Stephen Johnson. The win gives the Corn- wall Colts, who remain in second place in the Robinson, 65 points. Carleton Place sits in first with 69 and Brockville is in third with 63 points. The Colts opened up the scoring at 6:51 in the first against Gloucester an unassisted goal by Michael Phillips. But another unas- sisted goal, this one by Gloucester’s Travis Meyer while shorthanded tied the game with just 39 seconds in the first. Kyle Baun scored his first of two on the night just 1:33 into the second period to give the Colts the lead again, but the Rangers tied it up five minutes later on a goal by Mathieu White. Assisting on Baun’s goal were Michael Borkowski and Thomas Lang. The Colts won a wild one in a rare after- noon tilt at the Ed Lumley Arena in Corn- wall Saturday afternoon against the Hawkesbury Hawks. Tyson Spink scored five goals as the Colts outlasted the Hawks 8-6, including three of the Colts’ powerplay goals. The Colts, who were up 7-2 with just 5:27

gone in the second period, saw their lead evaporate to just one goal early in the third period when the Hawks rallied for four unanswered goals. The sparse crowd at the Ed Lumley was able to breathe a sigh of re- lief when Spink potted his fifth goal of the game on a powerplay to give the Colts a much needed insurance marker mid-way through the third. The Colts made a late comeback at home against the Smiths Falls Bears on Thursday in Cornwall, but were unable to seal the deal in the shootout. The Colts, down 3-1 late in

the third, netted late goals from Billy Ulrick and Kyle Baun to send the game to overtime. Michael Borkowski, the Colts fourth shooter, was unable to match Jesse Blais’ goal for the Bears in the shootout, leaving the Colts with just one point. The Colts could lose some ground in the Robinson this week – Carleton Place played Kanata and Brockville was slated to play Smiths Falls Tuesday evening – but they have a chance to gain it back against Car- leton Place on Thursday evening at the Ed Lumley.
