Inching toward .500, Frank the Tank style

Streaking is fashionable again in Thousand Oaks.
If there's anything you must know about your Los Angeles Lightning, the local International Basketball League entry, is they do things in streaks.
Erasing that six-game losing skid to start their existence, they're on a five-game winning run thanks to Toby Bailey's 30 point effort in a 135-120 win over the Windy City Soldiers at Cal Lutheran on Friday.
Ronell Mingo (27 points), Kamran Sufi (16 assists), Billy Knight (23 points) and Fred Vinson led the team, which was missing Lamond Murray.
The 5-6 Lightning face the 7-11 Soldiers again tonight at the Thousand Oaks campus gym -- which ends a 12-game home streak, and kicks off a six-game roadie before the final two games against Arizona on June 20-21 -- right after the Lakers-Celtics NBA Finals have ended.
