Lancaster JetHawks News Release
(RANCHO CUCAMONGA, CA) -He might have been the third pitcher in line to get promoted to Lancaster, but Anthony Cupps is pitching like a Cal League all-star. Following up his six-inning shutout debut, Cupps pitched eight innings and allowed just one run as the JetHawks beat the Rancho Cucamonga Quakes 9-1 Wednesday night at the Epicenter. The win keeps the JetHawks in first place, one game ahead of the Lake Elsinore Storm.

Nicolas had three RBI for the JetHawks. Emilio Bonifacio went 3-4 with three runs scored while Josh Ford and Jon Zeringue each had two hits. One of Ford's hits was a home run to lead off the fourth inning.
