The Condors will face the Grizzlies four times in the next nine nights, with two here in Bakersfield and two next weekend in Utah. Saturday's game is the final contest of the series here in Condorstown. Bakersfield is 21-9-0 all-time against the Grizzlies, including a 7-2-0 record in 2008-09, and has never lost a season series with Utah. The Condors have equaled their franchise home winning streak record, at eight games, with a chance to break it tonight.
