After a stellar outing the previous night against Las Vegas, the Bullfrogs dropped back into mediocrity Saturday night, losing to the Oakland Skates for the first time in franchise history, 11-10, in a shootout at the Oakland Memorial Coliseum.

The Bullfrogs started quickly, jumping to a 3-1 first-quarter lead on goals by Shayne Arsenault, Bobby McKillop and Joe Cook.

The Skates rallied behind five consecutive goals to take a 6-3 lead, which they never relinquished. The Bullfrogs tied it, 9-9, with 17 seconds remaining, when they pulled their goalie for an extra skater and Rick Judson scored.

The Skates gained the victory on goals by David Moore and Karry Biette in the shootout.
