Rancho Cucamonga Quakes News Release
Rancho Cucamonga, CA - The Quakes' run of perfection at home ended on Thursday night, as the San Jose Giants earned their first win of the series with a 13-6 victory over Rancho at LoanMart Field.

Trailing 8-2 in the seventh, the Quakes tallied four runs and got right back in the game, as Mike Sirota had a two-run double, then scored on Jose Meza's two-run single, as the Quakes made it an 8-6 game. Rancho left the bases-loaded though and then saw San Jose post five runs in the eighth to put it away against the Rancho bullpen.
San Jose reliever Nikolas Herold (1-0) struck out six batters over two innings to earn the win.
