SALT LAKE CITY - In a back-and-forth battle between the Spokane Shock and the Utah Blaze on Friday night, it all came down to the last play of the game at Energy Solutions Arena.

With three seconds left in the game, the Shock offense took over at its own 14-yard line down by a touchdown. Quarterback Kyle Rowley dropped back to pass and heaved a Hail Mary pass into the end zone that fell incomplete as time expired as the Shock fell to the Blaze 69-62 in Arena Football League play in front of 7,649.

The Blaze (3-2) defense stopped the Shock offense twice in the first half, with a fumble recovery and a turnover on downs, and capitalized with two touchdowns and put Spokane in a hole for most of the game.

Rowley passed for 323 yards with nine touchdown passes for Spokane (1-4), tying his own single-game club record for most passing touchdowns. Utah's Tommy Grady passed for 245 yards and six touchdowns.

Greg Orton of Spokane tied a personal high with five touchdown catches, finishing with 14 receptions for 146 yards. Emery Sammons recorded 11 receptions for 111 yards with one touchdown, while Shaun Kauleinamoku caught three TD passes.

Spokane travels to Orlando next Saturday.
