Lancaster JetHawks News Release
(LANCASTER, CA) - The JetHawks took their home cooking on the road with them. Lancaster's offense hit four home runs, and the bullpen came up with timely pitching as the JetHawks defeated the High Desert Mavericks Monday night in Adelanto.

Lancaster's prolific offense scored runs in six of their nine turns at the plate. Aaron Bates hit a solo home run in the fourth inning and Luis Soto hit a two-run homer in the fifth to put Lancaster up 7-3.
