However, the Bears run would be thwarted by the Blackhawks who would force numerous Butler turnovers that they would then cash in for points on the other end, leading a run of their own. Adrian would take a 22-19 edge into the break.

This combination would allow Adrian to win both the 3rd and 4th quarters pretty handedly.
