Lancaster JetHawks Rip Lake Elsinore Storm 5-1 - Advanced A, California League
Wednesday, July 9, 2008 at 08:49AM MLN - THE RAW FEED - www.mlntherawfeed.com - LAKE ELSINORE, CA – The JetHawks sent a couple of balls out of the Diamond early and let the pitching take things the rest of the way Tuesday night in Lake Elsinore. Tony Bajoczky gave Lancaster another strong performance, limiting the Storm to just one run with the help of two relievers as the JetHawks defeated the Storm 5-1. The win gives Lancaster three straight and gets their season record back to .500 at 44-44.
A couple of long home runs gave Lancaster all they needed early as Lars Anderson hit his 12th home run and Chih-Hsien Chiang hit his 7th. After that the JetHawks pitching dominated. Shaking off a touch-and-go first inning, Bajoczky settled in to retire 12 consecutive Storm batters. He allowed just one run in six innings to earn his fourth win (4-3).
The bullpen did their share as well. Bryce Cox retired all six batters he faced over two innings and Derrick Loop turned in a scoreless frame in the ninth to close the game out. Offensively, both Anderson and Chiang had two hits. Chiang is now working on his longest hitting streak of his career, up to 12 games. Luis Exposito also had two hits and a RBI while Jon Still helped seal the win with a two-run triple in the eighth inning.
