Colton Welker continued his strong seasson with the Lancaster JetHawks Saturday night with a three-run homer as part of a four-home-run night for the Rockies High-A affiliate. Tyler Nevin, Wes Rogers and Luis Castro also homered in the 7-5 win.
Welker’s and Nevin’s home runs were back to back in the fourth inning and gave the JetHawks a lead they would not relinquish though it did get a bit scary in the ninth.
