RANCHO CUCAMONGA – An early five-run inning and a season-best outing from Antonio Santos helped the JetHawks to a 9-3 win over the Rancho Cucamonga Quakes in a rubber game at LoanMart Field Thursday night.
After scoring an unearned run in the first inning to take an early lead, the JetHawks (29-29) scored five runs in the third and chased Rancho starter Gerardo Carrillo (2-4) with two outs.
Todd Czinege started the scoring in the fifth with an RBI-double, and Ramon Marcelino followed with a two-run double. Matt Hearn drove home two runs with a double later in the inning to put the JetHawks up, 6-0.
Santos (2-3) did not allow a run over six innings and struck out a season-high eight batters. He allowed five hits and walked only one.
Sean Bouchard hit a solo home run in the fourth to give Lancaster a 7-0 lead. Carlos Herrera ended the scoring with a two-run home run in the eighth inning. He homered in each game of the series.
