CLYMER — Julio Torres’ putback with 2.4 seconds remaining gave Westfield a 53-51 come-from-behind victory over Clymer in CCAA Division 2 West action.
The Wolverines led by six with under a minute remaining, but a pair of 3-pointers from the Pirates’ Corey Neckers tied the game at 51.
Torres then missed a 16-foot jump shot, but grabbed his own rebound and scored to give the Wolverines (7-4, 3-2) a two-point lead.
Clymer (5-7, 1-5) was then forced to go the length of the floor, but was unable to attempt a tying shot.
The Pirates led by seven entering the fourth quarter and expanded their lead to 10 with six minutes remaining, but Westfield stormed back thanks to 12 points, including three 3-pointers, in the period from Evan Hauser.
