Escondido’s Sam Bailey scored his first goal as a professional hockey player, and Brett Menton added his first goal of the season in a 6-2 road loss to the Fresno Falcons on Friday night at Selland Arena. The Shock (1-5-2, 4 points) received a strong performance in net from goaltender Logan Gorbitz in his first start for Oceanside, making 32 saves, including 26 in the opening two periods under heavy pressure.

Fresno (5-1-0, 10 points) improved to 3-0-0 against the Shock this season, while Oceanside dropped to 0-3-0 on the road. Noah Finstrom scored the first and last goals for the Falcons, while Houston Wilson (1-2=3) and Aaron Huffnagle (0-3=3) each had three-point games. The Shock will attempt to end a five-game losing streak when these same two teams reconvene at Frontwave Arena in Oceanside on Saturday night, a 6:00pm face-off.
