Decker Homers Twice in Loss

Rancho Cucamonga Quakes News Release
Visalia, CA - Despite a pair of homers from Cameron Decker, the Quakes dropped Saturday's game in Visalia, a 10-6 decision to the Rawhide at Valley Strong Ballpark.
Decker's first homer, a two-run shot, broke a 2-2 in the fourth, giving Rancho a 4-2 lead. That was the last time Rancho led though, as the Rawhide scored five times in the fourth and took the lead for good, on their way to a series-win over the Quakes for the second time this week.
Down 7-4 in the eighth, Decker struck again, hammering his second two-run homer and third of the year, making it 7-6.
That's as close as the Quakes would get though, as an error in the last of the eighth allowed three unearned runs to score, as the Rawhide took a 10-6 lead and held on for the win.
Rancho starter Roque Gutierrez (1-2) took the loss, while Visalia starter Adonys Perez (3-5) got the win.
The Quakes (7-8, 37-42) will take two consecutive days off, then return to action on Tuesday night at 7:05pm against the Stockton Ports at Banner Island Ballpark in Stockton. Wyatt Crowell (0-0) is scheduled to throw for Rancho in Tuesday's opener.
The Quakes will be on the road until Friday, July 19, when they return home to face the Lake Elsinore Storm in a brief three-game series. Friday the 19th will be Joe Kelly Bobblehead Giveaway to 1,500 fans in attendance. Tickets are available for all Quakes' home games online at rcquakes.com. Go Quakes!
