The Battlefords AA Barons have taken a 2-0 lead in their series against the Humboldt AA Broncos in the Centre Four division, and are just one win away from another trip to the finals.
The Barons took game one in Humboldt 8-4 on Saturday. Humboldt had a 2-1 in the second period but the Barons came back with three straight goals in that frame, including an unassisted shorthanded goal from Ty Jack.
The Barons were up 4-3 through two periods, and then broke it open in the third period with three Keanu Foulds goals in the third period, two of them on the power play. Jordan Grill also got a shorthanded goal in the third.
Sunday afternoon, the Barons were at home at the Civic Centre where they beat Humboldt 4-3 in dramatic fashion. Again it was Foulds who came through in the third period, scoring a power play goal to tie it at 3-3, and then being awarded a penalty shot with 1:40 to go in the third. He scored, giving the Barons the victory and two-game series advantage.
Game three goes March 12 at Elgar Petersen Arena. Game four is March 14 at the Civic Centre if needed.
