Modesto, CA - The Modesto Nuts scored their second walk-off win of the series, taking a 4-3 win over Rancho on Saturday night at John Thurman Field.

Cole Young's two-run single ended it, as the Quakes blew a ninth-inning lead for the second time in four days.

Tied at 2-2 in the seventh, Thayron Liranzo doubled home Rayne Doncon with two outs, giving Rancho their first lead of the night at 3-2.

Modesto, which left an astonishing 16 men on base through eight innings, left the bases loaded in the eighth, as Joel Ibarra pitched himself in and out of trouble to hold the one-run lead.

In the ninth, Ibarra walked the first two men he faced and was removed in favor of Madison Jeffrey. Jeffrey walked the first hitter he faced, giving Rancho pitching a total of 13 walks on the night. Young followed with a two-run single to right field, as the throw was late, giving Modesto four of five in the series and a series win.

The Quakes (33-23), who now hold a 4.5 game lead over both Lake Elsinore and Inland Empire with ten to play in the first half, will look to break the two-game skid on Sunday at 2:05pm, as Peter Heubeck (0-4) will take on Modesto's Riley Davis (1-0) in the finale.

The Quakes will return to LoanMart Field on Tuesday, June 20 for a Healthy RC Recycle Tuesday, as fans can pledge to recycle 10 CRV-eligible bottles and cans. Tickets are available at rcquakes.com. Go Quakes!
