RANCHO CUCAMONGA, Calif. - The JetHawks fell to the Rancho Cucamonga Quakes, 8-3, but Ramon Laureano kept rolling on Monday night at LoanMart Field.
Laureano, who was named the Cal League Player of the Week earlier Monday, picked up three hits and drew a walk to extend his hitting streak to 14 games. The outfielder is hitting .519 (27x52) during the streak.
Little else went well for the JetHawks (51-44) who dropped their second-straight game after winning seven in a row.
The Quakes (56-39) broke the game open with a six-run third inning. Josh James (7-3) gave up a two-run home run to Erick Mejia and a three-run home run to Joey Curletta in the frame. The right-hander allowed a career-high eight earned runs on nine hits over six innings. He struck out nine and walked two.
Quakes starter Isaac Anderson (1-0) threw five shutout innings in his Cal League debut. He allowed just two hits and struck out five.
Lancaster scored its first run in the sixth inning when Trent Woodward singled to score Bryan Muniz to make the score 7-1.
Jason Martin and Jamie Ritchie added RBI-singles in the eighth.
Kevin McCanna tossed two scoreless innings of relief for Lancaster.
The four-game series concludes on Tuesday at LoanMart Field. Trent Thornton (6-4) makes the start for the JetHawks against rehabbing Dodgers reliever Yimi Garcia. First pitch is 7:05 p.m.
