The Sailors tied the series 2-2 with a 4-1 home ice win Wednesday but then fell behind 3-2 with a 6-4 loss in Mildmay, Friday. Facing elimination Sunday the Sailors rallied from a 3-1 deficit after two periods scoring three times in the final 20 minutes to escape with a 4-3 victory and force the deciding game of the division final series. The final game of that series was played in Mildmay, Wednesday with the winner to meet the victors in the Dresden -Wheatley series. The Sailors evened the series at two games apiece with a 4-1 win in Goderich last Wed- nesday. The game was a dull, tight checking affair that the Sailors led 1-0 after one period, 2-1 after two and then wrapped with two goals in the final period. Jim Hayter scored for Goderich in the first period and Ron Sowerby scored in the second to regain the Sailor one goal bulge after Mildmay tied the game early in the period. Pul Kelly and Grant Shelton scored third period goals for Goderich. Mildmay regained the series lead in game five with a four -goal effort in the final period to dump the Sailors 6-4. The teams were tied 2-2 after two periods of play but Mildmay outscored Goderich 4-2 in the final period. Kevin Meriam, Dan Duncan, Paul Kelly and Ken Meriam scored the Goderich goals. The Sailors nearly hung up their skates for the season Sunday as they trailed 3-1 after two periods but played a fine period of hockey in the final 20 minutes scoring three times to steal the win, 4-3. Rick Fremlin got the Sailors right back in the game early in th third period sliding a backhander into the corner of the net to narrow the Mildmay lead to 3-2. It was Fremlin's second goal of the game. Just two minutes later, «Paul Kelly took a Duncan pass on a two -on -one situation and blasted a shot into the top corner of the net from a difficult angle, to tie the score 3-3. But the win didn't come easy for the Sailors. They had to kill a number of penalties in the final period but won the game on a goal by Duncan at 13.58. Duncan poked in a rebound from close range after a shot from the point by Sowerby was batted around the crease area. Ken Meriam saved the game in the final period when he was forced to play goal for Juergen Hellman who vacated his post to clear an errant puck. Hellman,who went half way to the blueline to clear the puck, failed in his attempt and put the puck on a Mildmay stick. Meriam covered the net and blocked the shot while on his knees and managed to sweep the puck into the corner while in a prone position on the ice.
