CONDORS STYMIED BY COACHELLA VALLEY
The Bakersfield Condors (5-5-2, 12pts) fell 6-3 to the Coachella Valley Firebirds (6-4-2, 14pts) on Tuesday.
Coachella Valley snapped the Condors streak of 15 consecutive power plays killed when Logan Morrison staked them to a 1-0 lead at 10:42. Ty Nelson tacked on with a controversial goal at 17:28 to make it 2-0. Nelson scored after it appeared the official was calling a Firebirds penalty and had initially waived the goal off.
Coachella struck for four more in the second, including one that went to a review for a potential skate kick-in and led 6-0 after two periods.
Rhett Pitlick (5th) scored 5-on-5, while Viljami Marjala (2nd) and Seth Griffith (3rd) scored power-play goals in the third period for the Condors to cut the deficit. Quinn Hutson had two assists.
The Condors outshot the Firebirds 38-24 on the night.
