Trailing by two in the third period, Ben Gleason (1st) and Seth Griffith (3rd) scored 29 second apart to level it, but the Bakersfield Condors (2-1-2, 6pts) eventually fell 5-3 in regulation to the Tucson Roadrunners (2-3-0, 4pts) on Friday. It was the first regulation loss for the Condors this season. Drake Caggiula (2nd) scored shorthanded in the second frame, part of a two-point night.

Alex Kannok-Leipert and Josh Brown each had fighting majors in the first period. Brown’s fight with Curtis Douglas came with a game misconduct for fighting off a face-off and the Condors went down to five d-men for the rest of the game.

It was just the fourth regulation loss in 20 games for the Condors in Tucson.
