Sirum’s Auto Body overcame a 6-0 halftime deficit to defeat Travel Kuz, 7-6, in the semifinals of the Greenfield Men’s Touch Football League playoffs Sunday at Green River Park.
Second-seeded Sirum’s, which had been stopped most of the day by an inspired Kuz defense, finally broke through when quarterback Jesse Phelps found Chucky St. Hilaire for a 10-yard touchdown strike. Then, while avoiding pressure, Phelps found St. Hilaire for the deciding conversion point.
Bryan Adamski connected with Jon Hall on a 7-yard TD pass for the Kuz score, but the PAT pass was denied.
Sirum’s will take on top-seeded Between the Uprights on Sunday at 10 a.m. BTU advanced via a late forfeit due to injury.
