MLN Newswire - www.mlntherawfeed.com - (LANCASTER, CA) – The Lancaster JetHawks sent the High Desert Mavericks to another disheartening loss Tuesday night at Clear Channel Stadium.  For the second straight game, Lancaster struck in the seventh inning, pulling in front for an 8-5 win.  The JetHawks finish a sweep of the Mavericks and have now won four straight.  Upon the conclusion of the Lancaster game, Rancho Cucamonga was trailing Lake Elsinore.  A Quakes loss would move the JetHawks back into first place in the second half and cut their magic number for clinching the best record in the South to seven.

 

 High Desert jumped out to an early 4-0 lead.  The JetHawks got a solo home run from Michael Jones, but still trailed 5-1 going into the sixth inning.  However, Lancaster took advantage of chances against the Mavericks bullpen.

 

 After scoring a run to close the gap to three in the sixth inning, the big rally came in the seventh.  Aaron Reza started the frame off with a solo homer.  Singles by Luis Segovia and Kris Negron, as well as a walk to Yamaico Navarro, loaded the bases.  Ryan Kalish cleared them with a double to center field, giving the JetHawks their first lead.  Navarro helped pad the lead with a two-run single in the ninth.

 

 Felipe Garcia earned the win with two scoreless innings of relief.  That was followed by a shutout frame by Cody McAllister for his fifth save.  Negron had a big night, matching his career-high with four hits.  Luis Exposito had three hits and a RBI while Kalish, Jones, and Reza each had two hits.
