On a humid day the Beer Engines fought bravely for a win to keep their playoff dreams alive. The attack was creating chances, but they were either squandered or eaten up by the opposition's gigantic goalie. After the half the good guys found more space to operate and laid siege to the goalie's box. The break through came with ten minutes left as youth academy product Andy Leach nodded home a perfectly placed cross from Chris Zewiske. It was the rookie's first goal for Beer Engines and he celebrated in considered style.
At the other end the Beer Engine defense capably dealt with long balls launched from the opposite box. Keeper Jake Turzynski had a quite night, but proved his sharpness when faced with a one-on-one. An opposing winger streaked into the box with the ball and Jake rushed out to meet him. Not only did Jake block the shot, but he managed to hold onto the ball.
The scoreline belies the Beer Engine's dominance, but the team will be happy with a win.

Goal Bonanza
After struggling to find the net, Coach Zewiske made a bold move by shuffling his line-up.Midfielder Aaron Bommarito was moved into the defense and Peter Yamashiro was deployed as a forward instead of his normal place in central midfield. The gamble paid off with four Beer Engines opening their accounts and youth academy product Andy was given his first taste of The Show. While not as ruthless in front of goal as they would have liked, the good guys scored six goals and could have easily made it double digits.
Peter Keffer opened the floodgates and was soon followed by a well taken shot by Bob Schmidt off a left footed cross by Ian Zewiske. Later scorer turned provider as Peter Keffer played a ball into Chris Zewiske, who made no mistake from seven feet to make it three - nil. The fourth goal came from a training ground set piece after Andy Leach made a dummy run over the ball and created enough space for Demian to curl the ball off the far post and in. A defensive error allowed the visitors to pull one back just before half time.
The second half saw the Beer Engines miss a penalty and Peter Yamashiro fail to steer the ball home from six yards after an excellent set up by Tim Riley. Peter and Peter combined for the second time for a goal after Yamashiro dragged the ball back from the end line and played it across for Keffer to finish. Peter Yamashiro capped the scoring after pouncing on a lazy pass between defenders.
The dazzling display buoyed the home fans' hopes of stealing a playoff spot. A difficult road trip lies ahead of the Beer Engines and the supporters will hope that the offensive production will continue to compliment the league's best defense.
