Lancaster offense limited to four hits

(LANCASTER, CA) – Four home runs and a stellar pitching performance from Patrick Corbin sparked Rancho Cucamonga to 7-0 victory over the JetHawks at Clear Channel Stadium Thursday. It was the fourth straight loss for Lancaster.

Angel Castillo put the Quakes on the board with a two-run home run off Patrick Urckfitz in the top of the second.

Two innings later, Gabe Jacobo blasted a solo home run to extend the Quakes advantage to 3-0.

Three runs was more than enough support for Corbin, who tossed six scoreless innings and allowed just three hits. In two starts against the JetHawks, Corbin is 2-0 and has pitched 12 scoreless innings.

The Quakes added four runs in the seventh on a pair of home runs and an untimely throwing error from JetHawks first baseman David Flores.

Urckfitz (4-3) turned in his first career quality start, allowing three earned runs in six innings of work with two walks and four strikeouts.

With the loss, the JetHawks fell to 5-10 in the second half and 28-57. Rancho Cucamonga improved to 9-6 and 48-37 overall.
