MONTGOMERY- Lukas Elmhammar scored twice and lightning shortened the Majors second straight game, with a 2-2 draw against Huntingdon ending in the 88th minute.
The Majors battled from down 1-0 at the half and 2-1 in the 80th minute before Elmhammar scored just before the game was called.
" These guys were resilient tonight, showed a lot of heart," coach Steve Voltz said after the match. "Going down a couple of times, the team could have hung their heads, but they didn't, they battled and they got the draw."
The Hawks scored early, firing one past Majors' keeper Charlie Edwards, who got his first start of the year, in the 12th minute. That 1-0 score lasted all the way to the 76th minute when Elmhammar scored an unassisted goal.
"He (Elmhammar) showed why he's an SAA 1st team player," Voltz said. "He showed a lot of skill on both goals, dribbling through the defense, he was our game changer."
After Huntingdon scored the go ahead goal just four minutes later to take a 2-1 lead, Elmhammar scored again in the 87th minutes, just moments before the game was called.
Lightning in the Montgomery area ended the game prematurely, two minutes before regulation ended and cost what most likely would have been the Majors first overtime game of the season.
The Majors now sit at 1-0-1 on the young season and they will stay on the road in Alabama this weekend. Games against NAIA foes Faulkner and Auburn-Montgomery await on Saturday and Sunday, respectfully.
