On Sunday Oakland took the early lead in the first period and added another in the second before PJ Donnelly broke the ice to the get the Indians back within one goal, assisted by Grant Wickham and Jack Swan, then midway through the third Swan scored on a shot just over the blue line to knot the score at 2 all.  After that the Grizzlies scored two unanswered goals for the 4-2 win a sweep for the weekend.  Logan Raffaele was between the pipes for Indians turning away 31 Oakland shots during the game.

The Indians will regroup and get back on the road next weekend to take on Fox Motors in Grand Rapids.
