Curtis Pinder and Kevin Beirnes led the way for the 81s with two goals each.
Beirnes second goal broke a 5-all tie in the third period and gave the 81s the lead for good.
The Winterhawks managed to tie the game after being down 2-0, 3-1, 4-3, and 5-4 but were not able to take the lead.
Palmerston also got goals from Dan Richardson, Brent Cochrane, Brad Kenny, and Vince Laise.
