The Flin Flon Bombers are one win away from advancing to the SJHL semi-finals after downing the Weyburn Red Wings 3-2 Wednesday evening.

Adam Wilson (Greyson Reitmeier) had the game winner and Brenden Newton was again strong in net as the Bombers took a 3-1 series stranglehold before an announced crowd of 1,089 fans at the Whitney Forum.

Also scoring for Flin Flon were Joel Kocur (Alex Smith, Reitmeier) and Brandon Switzer (unassisted).

After the game ended, a melee broke out on the ice. As CFAR's Rob Hart exclaimed during his broadcast, "We've got a brawl on the ice!"

Added Hart's colour commentator, Jamie Smalley: "This is unbelievable!" Later, Smalley asked, "Where's the law enforcement here?"

Game 5 in the quarterfinal series goes Saturday in Weyburn.
