This time the St. Joseph Flyers made the comeback.

After losing several close games when opponents made late comebacks, the Flyers got one of their own as they rallied in the fourth quarter to beat the New Boston Tigers 55-53 Saturday.

The Flyers had seven offensive rebounds in the second half that proved very instrumental in the win.

"The putbacks helped," Flyers coach Kevin Hacker said.

Michael Basedow had 19 points to lead the Flyers (6-13). Michael Day had 23 points and Rodney Duncan 15 to pace New Boston.

Basedow scored 8 points in the first quarter and the game was tied 10-10. Day had 6 points in the second quarter as New Boston took a 26-24 halftime lead. Ryan Schwab and Basedow had 4 points each in the quarter.

Corey Lewis and Ryan Staton combined for 8 points in the third quarter but Duncan scored 8 as New Boston went up 42-37.

But Basedow scored 7 points and Jeremy Addis 4 to spark the comeback, and Kurt Jordan converted a 3-point play to put the Flyers ahead for good.
