By STEVE HENSON

April 3, 1998 12 AM PT

JetHawks home games will start at 7:11 p.m. for the obvious reason: One of the team’s sponsors is 7-Eleven convenience stores. . . . Cal State Northridge followers will recognize tonight’s Rancho Cucamonga starter, Brian Carmody. The Matadors faced Carmody in a 1996 play-in game when he was the ace of Santa Clara’s staff. Northridge won the series and advanced to the NCAA regionals.

Today’s game: Lancaster (Jason Bond) vs. Rancho Cucamonga (Brian Carmody), 7:11 p.m. Radio: KHJJ 1380-AM and KUTY 1470-AM.
