The 66ers pitching staff struck out 18 batters over ten frames but Inland Empire (9-10) went 0-for-11 with runners in scoring position at the plate to drop the second game of a four-game set and even the series at one apiece.

Bradish was dominant tossing four frames and walking two but fanning a career-best nine batters. Quakes starter Gerardo Carrillo tossed five scoreless and lefty Austin Hamilton delivered two perfect frames for Rancho Cucamonga (11-8). The Sixers threatened in the bottom of the ninth inning when Alvaro Rubalcaba's leadoff double opened the frame versus RHP Max Gamboa (1-0). The righty worked out of the jam however and pushed the game to extra frames. With two men aboard, Drew Avans drilled a two-run triple to right in the tenth off Warren (0-1) to secure the first hit of the night for the Quakes and the first runs of the contest. Avans came home on a squeeze bunt by Brandon Montgomery making it 3-0. Jordan Sheffield (SV, 5) struck out the side in the tenth to lock the game down for the Quakes.
