GONZALEZ FINALLY GETS A VICTORY JETHAWKS 14, R.C. 1.Byline: Chris Cocoles Staff Writer LANCASTER- He was a Silver Hawk slaying the Dragons the last time he pitched his way to a baseball victory. Enrique Gonzalez finally got that feeling again Thursday night, when he and the JetHawks beat the Rancho Cucamonga Quakes The Rancho Cucamonga Quakes are a minor league baseball team in Rancho Cucamonga, California, USA. They are a "high-A" class team in the California League, and have been a farm team of the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim since 2001. 14-1 at Lancaster Municipal Stadium. Gonzalez (4-14 in 2001) led the low Single-A Midwest League The Midwest League is a Class A minor league baseball league which operates in the Midwestern United States.

(Ind.) Silver Hawks. Save for beating the Dayton (Ohio) Dragons last Aug. 18, the 20-year-old right-hander from Bolivar, Venezuela, hadn't won in 18 starts, including two unimpressive outings with the JetHawks (5-9). And while his teammates' hitting and shoddy Quakes (8-7) defense staked him to a comfortable lead, Gonzalez allowed just one run on three hits in six innings. Jason Coulie nicked him for a solo home run in the third, but Gonzalez wasn't hurt by five walks. After banging out 44 hits the first three games of the series, the Quakes were outhit 15-4 in the finale. --Matchup: The JetHawks open a three-game series at Visalia tonight at 7:05, starting left-hander Francisco Trejo (0-0, 3.18) against Oaks left-hander John Rheinecker John Philip Rheinecker (born May 29, 1979 in Belleville, Illinois) is a Major League Baseball player for the Texas Rangers.
