PLAYOFF PICTURE:
The results from tonight's game, as well as the game tonight between Stockton and Las Vegas, will determine what position the Condors finish in the standings and who they will play. Regardless of opponent or seeding, the Condors will host Games 3, 4 and 5 (if necessary) on April 15, 17 and 18, respectively.
The victory by Las Vegas on Friday, 4-0 over Stockton, assured that the Condors can finish no worse than 3rd in the division, and Stockton cannot finish higher than Bakersfield. A Condors win tonight will earn 2nd place, regardless of the outcome of the Vegas-Stockton game.
PROMOTIONAL NOTES:
Tonight's regular season finale features a visit from a Condorstown favorite - SpongeBob SquarePants, courtesy of Bright House Networks and 101.5 KGFM. He will hang out with the fans and pose for pictures in the Condors Photo Booth.
At tonight's game, fans can purchase opportunity drawing tickets for the chance to win the Condors Customized 3-Way Chevrolet Truck, for just $5. The truck, valued at around $28,000, will be given away when the drawing is held during the Pacific Division Semi-Finals. Somebody is going to win the truck - it might as well be you!
