Lancaster JetHawks News Release
(SAN JOSE, CA) - Early on, it looked like the JetHawks were in for another pitchers duel in San Jose. A scoreless game going into the fifth, Argenis Diaz drew a walk to open the frame, after two Lancaster outs Jorge Jimenez drove him home with a double to left. Lars Anderson followed with a single, but the inning came to an end as Jimenez was thrown out at the plate. The Giants answered with a run of their own (un-earned) off JetHawks starter Chris Province. It was 1-1 going into the sixth.
Lancaster plated their second run in the sixth, a Josh Reddick double followed by a Daniel Nava single. The JetHawks broke things open in the seventh, scoring six runs on two hits. Suddenly a 2-1 ballgame was 8-1 with Lancaster in control.
Richie Lentz took over for Chris Province in the sixth, working two scoreless innings for Lancaster without allowing a hit and striking out three. Cody Mcallister finished out the night for Lancaster. The right-handed pitcher worked the final two innings giving up two un-earned runs to close things out 10-3.
The Lancaster JetHawks win, coupled with a Lake Elsinore Storm 5-4 loss to the Inland Empire 66ers, puts the JetHawks all alone in first place of the California League South Division. Four games remain in the chase for the first-half title.
