MODESTO, CA. - Five arms teamed up to toss the Modesto Nuts' first shutout of the year in a 7-0 win over the Rancho Cucamonga Quakes on Sunday afternoon at John Thurman Field.

Joe Rizzo recorded his first of two hits in the fourth with a RBI single. The next batter was Ariel Sandoval who beat out a potential double-play ball to drive in another run. The last run scored when Manny Pazos smacked a double down the left-field line.
