San Jose, CA - The Quakes enjoyed a break-out game on Wednesday afternoon in San Jose, coming from behind to defeat the San Jose Giants by a score of 11-7.

Nick Biddison's two-run double highlighted a four-run ninth, as Rancho took the lead for good and snapped a four-game losing streak, taking their magic number down to four with seven games to play in the first half.

Rancho trailed 3-1 in the fourth, but roared back to take a 7-3 advantage with a six-run sixth.

That lead didn't last long though, as the Giants scored one in the seventh and three in the eighth, tying the game at 7-7 and setting up the ninth-inning dramatics.

Biddison's two-run double put Rancho up 9-7 against Giants' reliever Julio Rodriguez (2-2). Rancho added two more in the inning to take the four-run advantage.

Joel Ibarra replaced Livan Reinoso (1-1) in the ninth and retired three of the four men he faced to close out the win and give Rancho their second win of the road trip (2-6).

Kyle Nevin homered (3) and had three hits, while Kenneth Betancourt also had three hits and two RBIs to lead Rancho's 10-hit attack.

The Quakes (34-25) will send Jared Karros (1-1) to the mound on Thursday at 6:30pm, as he'll take on Manuel Mercedes (1-1) in game three of the six-game set.

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!
