In the third, Worcester continued to pile on the goals and added three more by Jerry Duckett (Holtsville, NY), Jayden Blackburn (Palmer, MA) and Stimeling again to make it an 8-0 game.

In their final game of the weekend, the Railers picked up right where they left off the night before.

Early in the second period, Lambert added his fourth goal of the weekend on the powerplay to make it 2-0.

The Chiefs cut the lead in half late in the second, but mid-way through the third Cameron Koretsky (Cranston, RI) added a key insurance goal to give the Railers a 3-1 win.
