Lancaster, CA –Kris Negron was the hero Sunday afternoon, drilling a
three-run homerun to centerfield to give the JetHawks a thrilling 9-6 win.
The victory evened the JetHawks best-of-five game series against the Lake
Elsinore Storm at one game apiece.

With two outs and the bases empty in the bottom of the tenth inning, Reid
Engel reached on an error and Luis Segovia beat out an infield hit.
Negron said after the game that he was just looking for a pitch to hit
hard somewhere.  Over the centerfield wall worked marvelously.

Lancaster scored five runs in the bottom of the first inning to race out
to a 5-0 lead.  The big blow was a three-run homer from DH Jon Still.

Lake Elsinore inched closer with single runs in the second, fourth, sixth
and seventh.  Lancaster starter Chris Province game the team five solid
innings in which he allowed three runs.  In the ninth, the Storm scored
twice off reliever Derrick Loop to take a 6-5 lead.

Leading off the bottom of the ninth, pinch-hitter Michael Jones, who was a
late scratch from the lineup, singled up the middle.  Jones was then
replaced by pinch-runner Matt Sheely.  After Negron popped up a bunt
attempt, Sheely went first to third on a wild pitch.  With one out and
Sheely at third, the Storm were forced to bring the infield in.  Yamaico
Navarro then bounced a ball to shortstop that eluded the leaping effort of
Storm SS Anthony Contreras to score Sheely with the tying run.

In the top of the tenth inning, Lancaster reliever Jason Blackey walked a
batter with one out.  Storm rightfielder Sam Carter lined a ball to deep
rightfield that looked like it would leave the yard.  However, Daniel Nava
made a sensational jumping catch at the wall to rob Carter of a homerun to
keep the game tied.

The series shifts to Lake Elsinore for games three and four Monday and
Tuesday night at 7:08 PM.  If necessary, the teams will return to
Lancaster for a game five Wednesday evening.
