Rancho Cucamonga Quakes News Release
Rancho Cucamonga, CA - The Fresno Grizzlies got a strong pitching performance and got out of Sunday's series-finale at LoanMart Field with a 9-2 win over the Quakes.
Despite the loss, the Quakes took four of six in the series and eight of 12 on the home stand.
Albert Pacheco (5-4) dominated over six innings, allowing just a first-inning home run to Zyhir Hope (6). The left-hander struck out seven, walked just one and faced one over the minimum.
Rancho starter Christian Zazueta (1-3) pitched well in defeat, as he had some tough luck behind him, allowing three runs on five hits over four innings.
