Thriller in Carolina, Barons are last amateur survivor
Second Round winners to face MLS clubs on June 30
The Ocean City Barons and the Wilmington Hammerheads pulled off the lone upsets of the U.S. Open Cup Second Round. The Barons get a penalty kick in the 108th minute and J.T. Noone breaks a scoreless tie and Ocean City earns a date with D.C. United at home. The Barons, based on the rest of the results won the $10,000 prize money as the amateur team that has advanced the farthest into the tournament.
However, even with the drama of a PDL team earning a match with an MLS team, without question, the match of the Second Round was the Wilmington Hammerheads and the Carolina RailHawks. After finishing regulation tied 1-1, both teams scored a pair of goals in extra time, including a Hammerheads goal in stoppage time of the second overtime period to send the match into penalty kicks. Wilmington would win the PK shootout 4-3 and will move on to host the Chicago Fire of MLS.
