But Mark responded with a touchdown and then stopped the Sparrows on downs to regain the possession. After a no huddle drive, the Icebergs cut the lead down to 51-49.

The Sparrows would regain momentum with thier second throwoff return of the game right away.

In the forth, the Sparrows batted down a two point conversion that would have cut the lead down to one point, but instead, it remained a 65-62 lead.
