You can do something similar to the Schwartian transform 
use strict;
use warnings;
my %games = (
  abraham => "12::Soccer::1/1/2003",
  bertha  => "10::Pool::3/3/2000",
  charly  => "8::Basketball::5/5/2002",
);
for (sort {$b->[0] <=> $a->[0]}
        map [split(/::/, $games{$_}), $_],
            keys %games
    ) {
        print $_->[-1], " score = ", $_->[0], "\tgame = ", $_->[1], "\
+n";
}

outputs 
abraham score = 12      game = Soccer
bertha score = 10       game = Pool
charly score = 8        game = Basketball
