BERLIN - A sellout crowd (many fans were turned away) saw Hiland (17-1) come from behind here Saturday night to upend Strasburg (13-4). Trailing throughout the first 3 quarters, Coach Bob Schrock's high-flying Hawks went ahead 51-49 at the start of the final frame and held a 9-point cushion until the Tigers rallied at the end. Coach Warren Binder's Tigers led 16-15, 36-29 and 49-47 at the quarter stops. Strasburg jumped out to an 8-2 margin and held that much of a lead most of the first 2 frames. In the 3rd period, the Hawks employed the press on defense to tie the score 39-all with the 2 teams matching shots until the Tigers went ahead at the close. Hiland went ahead at the start of the final frame and spurted to a 9-point cushion until 3 minutes were left to be played.
