With Bombers defenseman Bryan Nathe in the penalty box for holding, the Titans opened the scoring when Scott Bertoli beat Mike Ayers with a powerplay goal at 8:32 of the first period. Dayton tied the game, 1-1, when MIKE SCHUTTE buried a rebound following a shot from Ben Knopp. Then, with 4:44 remaining in the opening frame, Rick Kowalsky pulled the puck off the wall and fed Brent Robinson for his 8th goal of the season. The Titans led, 2-1, after 20 minutes.

The only goal in the second period was a powerplay goal from JUSTIN KINNUNEN that tied the game, 2-2, at the 6:36 mark. The Bombers were unsuccessful during a 5-on-3 powerplay that lasted 38 seconds, and the teams were tied after 40 minutes.

In period three, B.J. Abel took a shot from the point that missed the net, and Matt Zultek was there to finish the play and give Trenton a 3-2 lead. The Titans made it 4-2 on a goal from Phil Lewandowski at 11:59. The Bombers made it 4-3 when SCOTT CAMERON buried his 4th goal of the season with 8.9 seconds left, but it was too little, too late as the Titans held on for a 4-3 win.
