In the first quarter, Rowan McDougal sprinted with the ball for 25 yards, resulting in the first Pirate touchdown of the night.

At the beginning of the second half, Nick Disalvo darted into the end zone on a 7-yard run, a Pirate touchdown. Kicker, Tony Liva, made the extra point, evening the score at 14-14. Later in the second half, Spellman scored for the Rockets on a 12-yard run. Meanwhile for the Pirates Ryan Ricketti toted the rock for 70 yards to paydirt, tying the game at the end of the 3rd quarter.
As time expired in regulation, the Rockets missed a field goal attempt and the game entered overtime. The tension was so thick in Bay Village’s stadium, it could be cut with a knife.
Once the game entered overtime, Julian Patti ran the ball in for 10 yards and the Pirates regained their lead. Then the Pirates denied Bay Village’s attempt to tie the game, sealing the Rocky River victory.
Final score 28-21
