Lancaster JetHawks News Release
(Lancaster, CA) - The Lancaster JetHawks fell to the Lake Elsinore Storm 9-4 Saturday night in the second game of a four game series.

The Storm (28-27) added three more runs in the fourth inning on a three-run home run by Chase Headley; at the end of four the JetHawks trailed 4-0.
The JetHawks (25-31) made things interesting scoring 2 runs in the fifth. Rusty Ryal led off the inning with a double and came around to score on a single by Josh Ford. The JetHawks took advantage of a couple miscues by the Storm that allowed Ford to score the second run of the inning. Lancaster added two more runs in the sixth to close the gap to 6-4 when Josh Ford's ground ball was misplayed by Lake Elsinore shortstop Skip Adams. The error allowed two runs to come across.
