Lancaster JetHawks News Release
(SAN BERNARDINO, CA) - Travis Beazley would have made Aaron Burr proud Monday night. The right-hander was the winner when a pitcher's duel erupted into a JetHawks blowout. After Beazley threw six shutout innings, the JetHawks scored eight times in the top of the seventh inning to break a scoreless tie and beat Inland Empire 11-2. The win keeps the JetHawks in first place by a game and a half. Their magic number to clinch the #1 seed in the Southern Division drops to 15.
The pitching was very strong for both teams early. Beazley was in command throughout his start. He only gave up one hit, an infield single, and did not allow any other runner to reach base. Beazley struck out six. He was matched for six innings by Inland Empire starter Steve Johnson as the game was scoreless until the seventh inning.
That's when the 66ers pitching staff fell apart. Singles by Jon Still and Michael Jones were followed by a walk to Zak Farkes that loaded the bases. A sacrifice fly broke the tie, then Matt Sheely walked to fill the bases again. The 66ers went to the bullpen, but it did not help. Luis Segovia came through in the clutch with a two-run single. The JetHawks then had three more players walk and one more batter was hit by a pitch. Two wild pitches and an error factored in as the JetHawks emerged with an 8-0 lead. The total matched their biggest inning of the season and led to the win.
Lancaster had only 11 hits in the game but ended up walking nine times. Farkes drove in three runs for the JetHawks with a single and two walks. Still had two hits and two walks.
The JetHawks continue a six-game road trip Tuesday night against Inland Empire. Derrick Loop (3-0) starts for Lancaster while the 66ers counter with Josh Wall (9-5). The game starts at 7:05 PM.
