Rancho Cucamonga Quakes News Release


Rancho Cucamonga, CA - After weeks of struggling the Quakes' offense exploded on Saturday night, recording season-highs in runs and hits in a 13-6 win over the Visalia Rawhide.

Chris Jacobs and Austin Gallagher each drove in five runs, while Zach Lee earned his first win of the year.

Jacobs had a monster game, clubbing his first two homers of the year and finishing the night 4-for-4. Gallagher slugged the team's first grand slam of the season, highlighting a six-run second inning.

Lee was a little up and down, as he was spotted a 10-1 lead after just two innings, but struggled in the third, giving up four runs, as the Rawhide made it 10-5 after just two and a half innings.

Lee would settle down though, striking out a season-high nine batters over 6 1/3 innings. In avenging a loss last week to Visalia, Lee (1-1) allowed five runs (three earned) on ten hits.

Jacobs' first homer capped a four-run first, as the Quakes took a 4-0 lead over Visalia starter Alexander Carreras (1-2).

After a solo homer from Jon Griffin put Visalia on the board in the second, the Quakes struck for a season-high six runs in the bottom of the second, with Gallagher's grand slam and Jacobs' second bomb, highlighting the inning.

Rancho (7-10) will look to make it three of four over Visalia, sending Chris Reed (0-2) to the rubber on Sunday afternoon at 2:05pm. Visalia will counter with David Holmberg (1-2).
