Don Westbrooke scored a hat trick for the Dayton Gems in a 52 victory over Toledo in the International Hockey League. A bullet wound to Westbrooke’s arm occurred when a bullet crashed through their team bus window near Bowling Green, but he was not injured beyond a minor graze and did not miss the game. The slug reportedly came from a .22 caliber gun and the incident was reported to Wood County authorities. The win narrowed Toledo’s league lead to five points.
