Rancho Cucamonga Quakes News Release
Rancho Cucamonga, CA - The Quakes scored Monday's final eight runs and prevailed over the Visalia Rawhide, 8-3 at LoanMart Field, their second straight win overall.
Trailing 3-0 in the fourth inning, Rancho's first eight hitters all reached and scored, as Visalia starter Casey Anderson fell apart, after three strong innings.
RBI hits in the inning from Jose Meza, Samuel Munoz and Carlos Rojas helped get the game tied. After Kendall George walked with the bases loaded to force in a run, Wilman Diaz ripped a bases-loaded triple down the right-field line, giving Rancho a 7-3 lead and forcing Anderson (2-6) from the game. Cam Decker's sac fly capped the inning at 8-3.
The Rancho bullpen got six scoreless innings, thanks to Felix Cabrera (3-2), Reynaldo Yean, Callum Wallace and Christian Ruebeck.

Joe Kelly of the Los Angeles Dodgers is scheduled to throw one inning as part of a rehab assignment on Tuesday, then be followed by Christian Zazueta (0-1).
