TOMCATS FIVE LIVES
Minneapolis Edison had more lives than a cat in a 3-2 win over Minneapolis Henry tonight. Henry won games one and three, but Edison used up three of their lives in comeback wins in sets two, four and five. Henry led 22-21 in two, 18-11 in four and 12-9 in five when Edison pulled their survival trick.

Edison used a nine point run in game four that swung momentum their direction. In game five Henry led 12-9 when Edison used their final timeout. On the next ball Henry's Becca Duba had a strong hit that Edison got up. They eventually got the point on the "miracle save." After that Edison ran off three more points to take a 13-12 lead. Duba had a kill to tie the game at 13. After that Henry's server had a foot fault. The game ended on a passing error.

Henry outscored Edison 106-99 on the night.
