Stockton, CA - For the first time in their last three series, the Quakes earned a series-victory, as they won their second straight game overall on Sunday evening, with a 10-2 win over the Stockton Ports at Banner Island Ballpark.
Rancho, who won 9-1 on Saturday, enjoyed their second straight blow-out win and have now outscored the Ports 19-3 over the last two days, giving them five straight wins in Stockton, dating back to April.
Deacon Liput and Hunter Feduccia helped get the Quakes going in the fourth, breaking a scoreless tie. With Donovan Casey opening the inning with a double, Liput came up with a clutch two-out single, plating Casey for a 1-0 lead. Feduccia followed with a two-run single down the left-field line, scoring Miguel Vargas and Liput for a 3-0 advantage against Stockton starter Xavier Altamirano (5-6).
Quakes' starter Michael Grove enjoyed one of his strongest outings of the year, firing three scoreless innings and finishing his day by retiring eight straight hitters and leaving with a three-run lead.
Austin Hamilton came on in the last of the fourth inning and earned the eventual win. Hamilton (4-2) allowed two runs (one earned) on four hits over four innings.
Rancho put it away with five in the sixth, highlighted by a two-run single from Feduccia, who finished with three hits and four RBIs on the night.
Stockton got their lone runs on an inside-the-park home run by Jonah Bride, making it 8-2 in the sixth.
The Quakes added two more to finish it off in the ninth, as Brandon Montgomery brought home Chase Barbary and Brayan Morales singled home Marcus Chiu for a 10-2 lead.
