Rancho Cucamonga Quakes News Release


Rancho Cucamonga, CA- The Quakes Opening Day closer in 2007, Darren O'Day, has made the jump to the Major Leagues after being added to the Angles 25-man roster late Saturday night. With the injuries to the Angels bullpen, most notably Chris Bootcheck and Scot Shields, O'Day earned himself a spot by dominating in Spring Training going 3-0 with a 2.04 ERA while striking out 14 and walking only 5 in 17.2 innings pitched.

O'Day, who dominated with the Quakes in '07, was 4-0 with a 0.75 ERA and was a perfect 11 for 11 in save opportunities. He was selected as a California League All-Star in June and was promoted to AA Arkansas right after the game. In Arkansas, O'Day continued his success going 3-4 with a 3.99 ERA and saved 10 games.

The University of Florida graduate was signed as a free agent in 2006 and made his pro-debut with the Orem Owlz that year.

The Rancho Cucamonga Quakes are the Advanced-A California League affiliate of the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim and open their 2008 home schedule on Monday, April 7th at the Epicenter against the High Desert Mavericks. For information about ticket packages and group information, please call the Quakes at (909) 481-5000.
