Lancaster JetHawks News Release
(LANCASTER, CA) - Jedd Gyorko and Edinson Rincon combined to go 10-for-12 with 11 RBIs and seven runs scored as Lake Elsinore routed Lancaster 24-4 at Clear Channel Stadium Tuesday. Despite the lopsided loss, the JetHawks took two of the three games in the series with the Storm.
After neither team scored in the opening frame, Lake Elsinore exploded for six runs in the top of the second. Jonathan Galvez hit a two-run single in the frame and Gyroko and Rincon each delivered RBI singles in the inning. Lake Elsinore tallied seven hits in the inning and chased JetHawks starter Jake Buchanan from the ballgame after just an inning and 1/3 of work.
The JetHawks got a run in the bottom of the frame when Grant Hogue reached on a fielder's choice and Kody Hinze scored from third.
Lake Elsinore immediately answered with a pair of solo home runs in the top of third. Galvez and Nate Freiman each homered off Lancaster reliever Mike Ness. The Storm hit five home runs in the contest and 11 of Lake Elsinore's 24 hits went for extra bases.
Hogue finished 1-for-3 with three RBIs for Lancaster and Erik Castro ripped a pinch-hit RBI double in the bottom of the eighth. Buchanan (4-4) took the loss for Lancaster after surrendering eight hits and six earned runs. Jose De Paula (4-3) limited the JetHawks to three hits and two unearned runs in five innings of work.
The JetHawks fell to 24-34 with the loss while Lake Elsinore improved to 26-33.
The JetHawks will try to bounce back in the opener of a seven-game road trip on Thursday night against Inland Empire. Right-hander Andrew Robinson (3-4, 5.40 ERA) gets the start for Lancaster while the 66ers are expected to counter with right-hander Johnny Hellweg (2-3, 6.17 ERA).
