Hamilton Outlaws beat the Hamilton Ducks 4-2 in a lively contest. The Outlaws struck early with goals from Jacob Dyer and Shane Buddingh in the first, and Buddingh added another in the second as Kyle Lowrie set up multiple scores; Ralph Taggart capped the scoring late with an unassisted-seeming finish set up by Lowrie. The Ducks fought back with Tyler Heisey and Austin Grech converting chances in the middle and late stages, and the game included some penalties. Both teams showed spirited play and kept the crowd engaged in a competitive 40-minute affair.
