Stockton Heat News Release
STOCKTON, Calif. - Ryan Lomberg tallied six points to lead the offensive onslaught as the Stockton Heat earned a preseason split against Bakersfield with a 7-5 win Sunday night at Stockton Arena. The veteran forward scored shorthanded to put the home team up 3-2 then punctuated the win with an empty-netter for the game's first two-goal cushion. It was a back-and-forth affair in which Stockton struggled to get separation but never trailed, the teams trading goals up to a 5-5 stalemate. In total, 11 Heat players hit the scoresheet with Lomberg and Eetu Tuulola recording multi-point efforts. Stockton also finished the game with an impressive 41-15 shot differential.
