Lancaster JetHawks News Release
(LANCASTER, CA) - While the Lancaster JetHawks were dominant over the Lake Elsinore Storm in Lake Elsinore, their home struggles against the Storm continue.

Lancaster struck first on a Jason Place double and Daniel Nava RBI single in the first inning. However, the JetHawks stranded two runners in scoring position and would not strike again until the eighth inning.
Meanwhile, the Storm built a big lead. They scored four times off starter Chris Jones in the first five innings. Three JetHawks errors and struggles by reliever Derrick Loop led to six more runs as the Storm took a 10-1 lead in the eighth.
The JetHawks closed the gap in the final two innings. Chih-Hsien Chiang and Zak Farkes had RBI hits and Jon Still's ground out brought home a run, but it proved too little too late.
