I can’t believe that just f’n happened…
Easton loses their fifth straight to P’Burg, 27-27 with the Stateliners winning on the second criteria - most pins, 2-1. Both teams tied on the first tie breaking criteria with 7 wins a piece in the match.
Since the match was wrestled in New Jersey, they used NJ weights, so there were 14 bouts instead of 13, and Easton had to use a JV wrestler on varsity for the evening. Incredible match, despite the final result. Easton won massive toss ups at 157 and 165 to feel pretty good going into the back stretch. But at 190, Easton had a 6-1 lead and got cement mixed to their back to tie the match 6-6. Easton got a takedown to go up 8-7, but then was reversed and ridden out to lose 9-8. Won a big toss up at 215 to take a 23-21 lead in the match. P’Burg got an expected pin at 285, but despite being heavily favored at 106, Easton could not match the fall and only won 14-4, which left the match tied at 27 with P’Burg holding the tie breaking criteria.
