Tonight's match up:
The Condors and Thunder meet for the second time in less than 24 hours, after Bakersfield wrapped up a 4-1 victory over the Thunder last night. Coupled with a 5-3 win in Stockton on Tuesday (the only time this series the road team has collected a victory), the Condors are poised to take six straight points against the Thunder and move to within 2 points of second place in the Pacific Division. In the Western Conference, which is how the playoffs are seeded, Bakersfield is in sixth place, but just nine points out of first. The Condors are 33-18-3 in the all-time series between the clubs which includes a 6-4-0 record over Stockton this season. Tonight's matchup is the final time during the 2010-11 regular season that the two teams will meet.
