Fernando Perez hit two home runs, a three-run shot in the eighth inning and a grand slam in the ninth to break an 8-8 tie. The JetHawks held an 8-1 lead after seven innings. The loss snapped a five-game winning streak for Lancaster

Michael Gettys opened the scoring for Lake Elsinore with a one-out solo homer in the top of the first off JetHawks starter Peter Lambert. Following the long ball, Lambert retired the final 11 hitters he faced, striking out five. He finished with 44 pitches in his four innings of work, 31 for strikes.

The JetHawks exploded for seven runs in the bottom of the first (two earned), taking advantage of two Lake Elsinore errors, a balk, and stealing six bases. Lancaster stole 10 bases in 10 attempts in the contest, breaking their previous season-high of seven. Garrett Hampson had two of his three hits in the opening frame. His two-run single brought home the final two runs of the inning.

It remained 7-1 until the fifth, when the JetHawks loaded the bases with nobody out. They were only able to push across a single run on Wilson Soriano’s sacrifice-fly. The JetHawks went 2-for-17 with runners in scoring position on the night, stranding nine runners on base.

Scott Griggs (0-1) was summoned to try and close out the game for Lancaster, but struggled with his command. He walked River Stevens on four pitches to open the frame, threw a wild pitch to bring home a run, and walked in another. Griggs issued walks to the final three hitters he faced. Logan Cozart was brought in with the bases loaded and two out, as the JetHawks hoped to send the game to the bottom of the ninth at 8-8.
