STOCKTON, Calif. – The Stockton Heat (35-10-4-1) saw their six-game point streak come to a close in a 5-1 setback Wednesday against the visiting Bakersfield Condors (25-16-4-5).
Bakersfield took an early lead, Cooper Marody scoring his first of three goals on the night in the game’s opening minute. It started a three-strike opening frame for the visitors, with two from Marody and one from Tim Schaller. The Condors then added to their lead in the second with a shorthanded, breakaway strike and expanded the cushion to five midway through the third.
Byron Froese scored the lone goal for the home team in the tilt, a redirection in front on a feed from Colton Poolman to cap the evening’s scoring.
Stockton’s playoff-clinching ‘Magic Number’ fell to one point on the night with Tucson losing against San Jose in regulation, and the Heat will look to punch their playoff ticket on Friday at Colorado.
