He scored two goals in the final three minutes of regulation to tie and then win the game for Knoxville in a 4-3 win over Macon on Friday. He wrapped up the weekend with a pair of assists on Saturday, including one on Dawson McKinney’s overtime game-winning goal as Knoxville rallied to beat the Mayhem 3-2.
