Rancho Cucamonga Quakes News Release
San Bernardino, CA - San Bernardino, CA - The Inland Empire 66ers got a run in their last at-bat to snap an eighth-inning tie, as they snapped Rancho's three-game winning streak with a 5-4 win over the Quakes on Sunday evening at San Manuel Stadium.

Carlos Alejo (2-2) couldn't protect the tie game, as he gave up an RBI double to Gustavo Campero, who chased home Jose Guzman to give Inland Empire a 5-4 lead in the eighth inning.
In the ninth, Rancho got a leadoff single from Edwin Mateo and eventually got the match-up they wanted, as Jorbit Vivas came to the plate with they tying run in scoring position.
