This story appeared in the Antelope Valley Press June 26, 1998. After starting the season 0-3, Dunham won nine consecutive decisions. In fact, the JetHawks had lost only one game when the right-hander took the mound since April 15. But all that changed Thursday. Modesto's Jeff DaVannon hit for the cycle in his first four trips to the plate to lead the A's to a 12-9 victory over Lancaster before a crowd of 2,790 at The Hangar.
Baseball is a crazy game. . .
I tried my hardest, and my teammates tried their hardest. But sometimes, things like this happen. Dunham had his weakest outing of the season, allowing 10 runs on seven hits and four walks. I definitely hope to learn something from tonight. But he wasn't alone in his struggles.
