Stings Top Miller in Double-Overtime This knee opposing player seems worried about Mike Moses' pads as Zeke tries for two. Trailing most of the game by scant points, Victoria came out on the top-end of a tense double-overtime tilt with the Miller Buccaneers. Regulation play ended with a 45-43 tie. In the first overtime period, both teams failed to connect for buckets. In the second overtimeg however, Victoria finally managed to sink one for the win. Chet Cook fed the ball to Charles I-Ieger, who neatly dropped the ball in the basket. Miller came downcourt only to have the ball stolen. The Stings then ran out the clock. Fidel Padilla Fred Weitzel again led Victoria scoring with 18 points followed by Mike Moses and Fidel Padilla with 11 and 10 points respectively.
