Rancho Cucamonga, CA - The Modesto Nuts came from behind on two occasions on Tuesday night at LoanMart Field, completing a sweep of the two-game series and winning their tenth Cal League Championship with a 14-8 victory over the Rancho Cucamonga Quakes.

After letting a 6-1 lead slip away and watching Rancho rally to capture the lead with a five-run fifth, Modesto scored the game's last seven runs, securing their first title as a Seattle affiliate.

Kendall George and Joe Vetrano each finished with two hits and an RBI, as part of Rancho's nine-hit attack.

The Nuts added one more in the seventh and three in the eighth to put it away, finishing with 17 hits on the night.

Modesto's Colt Emerson had four hits and four RBIs to lead the way, while reliever Brandyn Garcia (2-0) was credited with the win.
