Landon Hiebert broke the tie for the Bombers in the second period at 1:07 _ giving his team the lead for the first time. Hiebert's goal was the lone marker in the second period, but the Bombers picked up two more in the third _ the first coming at the 19-second mark from Storzuk and the second a power play goal from Cam Blair at the 10-minute mark. The Bombers picked up their first victory of the weekend with a 4-1 win over the visitors.
