Bakersfield Condors News Release
BAKERSFIELD, Calif. - The Condors wouldn't let the Toledo Storm rain on their parade winning, 4-3, and took the boom out of Stockton Thunder, 2-1, as they swept a pair of games last week. Even though the Condors went undefeated last week, they actually fell out of first place in the Pacific Division, as Las Vegas played an extra game to take a two-point lead in the standings. The Condors will be at The Nest this week for the final three games of their five-game homestand and can move back into first place tonight with a win.
The Condors are 28-12-5 on the season, including 16-7-1 at The Nest, where they'll be for the next three games.
