Captain Sam Masters top scored with 12 points as Edinburgh Monarchs earned a point at Peterborough Panthers.
He was backed up by Ricky Wells who powered to ten points in a 48-45 defeat.
Earlier, Edinburgh were 19-17 ahead after a 5-1 in Heat Six but three 5-1 scorelines for the home side in the next four heats proved key to the outcome of the match.
Going into Heat 11 the visitors were 35-25 behind but a 7-2 thanks to a great ride by skipper Masters, who won the race for double points, and a third for Josh Pickering closed the gap to 37-32.
But Panthers kept Monarchs at bay by drawing Heats 12, 13 and 14 but the visitors finished on a high with a 4-2 thanks to a win from Wells and a third from Masters in the final race.
