Unlike the previous two games in which Lancaster had to come from behind, the JetHawks controlled this one throughout, giving the 2,825 fans plenty to cheer about. The JetHawks took advantage of a pair of walks in the first inning for a run, then added two more runs in the second on doubles by Zak Farkes and Daniel Nava.

Home runs provided the rest of the scoring for Lancaster. Josh Reddick, Luis Exposito, and Yamaico Navarro each hit solo shots.

That proved enough for the JetHawks pitching staff. Jones, who had struggled at home all season, came up with his first victory in Lancaster. Jones allowed just two unearned runs over five innings to even his record at 5-5. Derrick Loop held the game for three and 2/3 innings, while Jason Blackey struck out Bobby Felmy to earn his second save.

Nava, Navarro, Mike Jones, and Exposito all had two hits in the JetHawks victory.
