For the second time in four games it took overtime to settle a playdown contest between the Prestige Contractors Midget Kings and Port Hope Phantoms. The Kings were on the road Saturday night and after a scoreless first period, Tyler Philip got the boys on the board with an unassisted effort at 11:42 of the second frame. Port Hope answered back with two of their own to take a 2-1 lead into the intermission. It was a wild third period but keeper Alex Ward was perfect for the road crew and with only 2:45 on the clock, Philip notched his second of the game on a feed from Scott McQuaid. That goal tied it at two and earned the Kings new life in overtime, but it was not to be as the Phantoms scored just thirty-eight seconds into extra time on a deflected point shot to take the 3-2 win.
With the best-of-seven series tied at two games apiece, the Kings host game five Saturday night at 7:00 in Picton.
