Rancho Cucamonga Quakes News Release
Modesto, CA - The Modesto Nuts capitalized on four Rancho errors and a total of six walks and two hit batters, earning their first win of the series with an 8-5 victory over the Quakes on Wednesday night at John Thurman Field.
The loss drops the Quakes to 3-5 through the first eight games of the road trip, but they remain nine up on second-place Visalia, now with 19 games to play in the first half.
Rancho battled back on multiple occasions and actually led this game thanks to a Jaron Elkins (6) homer in the fourth, taking a 2-1 lead.
Modesto quickly rallied and scored three times against Aidan Foeller in the fourth, chasing the Rancho starter after taking a 4-2 lead.
The Quakes again answered, as Joendry Vargas picked up a two-run single, tying the game at 4-4 in the fifth.
The Nuts took the lead for good in the bottom of the inning though, as Nicolas Cruz (1-1) gave up a go-ahead sacrifice fly to Austin St. Laurent, making it 5-4.
The Modesto offense got two more in the sixth and one in the seventh, taking a four-run lead and essentially putting it away.
The Quakes picked up a run without the aid of a hit in the eighth, but with the bases loaded and two outs, reliever Calvin Schapira struck out Eduardo Guerrero, then worked a 1-2-3 ninth for his second save.
Modesto reliever Andrew Carson (1-0) worked a scoreless fifth for his first win.
Rancho (31-16) will send Jakob Wright (0-0) to the mound on Thursday, as he'll be opposed by Modesto's Jeter Martinez (1-2) at 6:40pm.
