Wingham had a 3-1 lead with under five minutes to play in the second period thanks to goals by J. J. Harland and Ryan McNeil in the first period and a Brett Brophy powerplay marker at 15:49 in the second.  But Shawn Moore scored for Kincardine with under two minutes to play in the second period and tied it up early in the third period.
