CUCAMONGA 6.Byline: Dave Desmond Daily News Staff WriterRob Luce was plugged into the JetHawks' starting rotation only after two other pitchers were placed on the disabled list at the start of the season. Those pitchers are now healthy, but Luce doesn't appear to be leaving the rotation anytime soon.

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.

The 22-year-old right-hander struck out five and yielded five hits and two earned runs before leaving with a 7-3 lead after six innings. Luce, who has a 2.48 ERA, is the only Lancaster pitcher with more than one victory.

JETHAWKS UPDATE Lost in Thursday's disappointing 11-0 loss to Rancho Cucamonga was an encouraging outing by right-hander Aaron Scheffer. Scheffer, recently bumped from the JetHawks' starting rotation when Jeff Farnsworth was activated from the disabled list, struck out seven and allowed three runs in 5-2/3 innings of relief. ``We've been very encouraged,'' pitching coach Jim Slaton said. ``His last two outings out of the pen have been very good.'' Matchup: Lancaster right-hander Jeff Farnsworth (0-0, 1.50) will face San Jose right-hander Brandon Leese (1-1, 4.12) in the opener of a three-game series at Lancaster Municipal Stadium.
