The largest blowout of the night in the minors was a 21-0 rout by the
Lancaster JetHawks (Diamondbacks) of the
Inland Empire 66ers (Mariners) in a
California League contest.
Not only did the offense have an historic night, the pitching held the Inland Empire 66ers scoreless on just two hits in a 21-0 victory. The win moves the JetHawks into a tie for second place, just one half-game behind first place Lake Elsinore.
Amazingly enough, it was a pitcher’s duel through the first four innings with the JetHawks leading just 1-0 on a solo home run by Emilio Bonifacio. However, the JetHawks scored ten times in the fifth inning, then added eight more in the sixth to pull away. The 21 runs is the most the JetHawks have scored in any game this season and it is the first time Lancaster has scored more than 20 runs in a game since 2003.

I'm one who loves a pitchers duel. Some fans would rather see lots of runs scored. JetHawks fans got both last night.
