Kenney allowed the first 8 batters of the inning to reach safely, seven on hits, before getting a fly out and a ground out to end the inning with a 5-0 deficit.

The Quakes got on the scoreboard in the 3rd as Andrew Romine singled to lead off the inning and scored from second on a one-out RBI single by Hector Estrella to make the score 5-1.

Modesto came right on back in the 4th against Kenney scoring a run on a solo homer by Charlie Blackmon to bring the lead back to five, 6-1.

Rancho got that run back in the 5th as Romine led off with a single to left and scored on a Hector Estrella RBI double to right field to make the score 6-2.

Mike Kenney wound up lasting five innings, allowing six runs on a season high 12 hits, while striking out three.
