STOCKTON, Calif. – After falling behind 2-0 early in the second period, the Stockton Heat rallied to score the final four goals of the game en route to a 4-2 win Wednesday night over the Bakersfield Condors. 
The Heat used a dominant third period to complete the comeback, outshooting the Condors 13-3 and outscoring the visiting club 3-0 over the game’s final 20 minutes.
Brad Malone paced the Condors attack with a pair of goals in the game’s first 21 minutes, but the momentum shifted when Adam Ruzicka put away his own rebound 15:16 into the middle frame.
Stockton then set the tone for the third early in the final period, Byron Froese beating Stuart Skinner just 29 seconds in to draw even.
The tie lasted into the game’s final nine minutes, when Luke Philp redirected an Alan Quine feed to go ahead 3-2, and Ryan Lomberg then tacked on the exclamation point in the final second with an empty netter.
With the win, Stockton completes its four-game home stand with a 3-1 record.
