Epperson Cal League Manager of the Year
Lancaster Manager Chad Epperson has been named California League Manager of the Year for the second season in a row. The JetHawks clinched a playoff berth by taking the first-half title and are 3.5 games up in first place (74-59) in the South Division to close out the season. If the JetHawks clinch their second-half title, it would complete a two season half-title sweep for Epperson's tenure ...Former JetHawks OF Josh Reddick, now with Portland, was named a California League post-season All Star along with Portland teammate 3B Jorge Jimenez.
