Quakes Blast Storm to Go 5-1 on Home Stand
August 17, 2018 - California League (CalL1)
Rancho Cucamonga Quakes News Release
Rancho Cucamonga, CA - Isaac Anderson fired seven scoreless frames and Cristian Santana enjoyed his second four-hit game of the series, as Rancho Cucamonga romped in the rubber game of the three-game set at LoanMart Field, hammering the Lake Elsinore Storm by a final of 9-1 on Thursday evening.
Anderson (8-6) was rarely tested, as he scattered four hits and didn't walk anyone over his seven frames, striking out nine along the way.
Rancho's offense slugged four more homers in Thursday's win, as Jared Walker (13), Santana (22), Carlos Rincon (8) and Nick Yarnall (5) all went deep.
Storm starter Pedro Avila (7-8), allowed three runs in the second, as Rancho grabbed the early lead at 3-0.
Santana not only finished with four hits for the second time in three days, he knocked in four runs to give him 99 RBIs on the year, tops in the Cal League and now the overall leader in Minor League Baseball.
The Quakes (73-50, 38-15) will move the series to Lake Elsinore on Friday, continuing their six-game series with the Storm with three games from The Diamond. Max Gamboa (2-1) will take on Bryan Mitchell (0-2) in the opener at 7:00pm.
The Quakes will return to LoanMart Field on Tuesday, hosting Lancaster for a three-game home stand. Tuesday is a Healthy RC Recycle Tuesday, as fans can bring ten CRV-eligible bottles or cans for a free Club Seat Ticket to the game. Tickets to the game are also available online at rcquakes.com or by calling (909) 481-5000. Go Quakes!
