Never count them out. 

Swampscott’s hockey team faced an overtime situation Saturday evening, passing it with flying colors against Latin Academy.

In Saturday’s road tilt, the Big Blue squeaked it out, 2-1, after Ryan Frary’s goal with 15 seconds remaining in the game. Jackson Bartram tucked one late in the third period to force sudden death.

Let’s not forget Frankie Pappalardo, who assisted both goals. Kody Langevain and Quinn Hitchcock also racked up helpers and, per usual, goalie Dom Pappalardo did his job with 27 saves.

Swampscott returns to the ice Wednesday night against Peabody-Saugus with puck-drop set for 7:30 p.m.
