Rancho Cucamonga Quakes News Release
Rancho Cucamonga, CA - The Inland Empire 66ers blew out the Rancho Cucamonga Quakes for the second straight day, taking an 18-8 decision on Sunday afternoon at LoanMart Field.
A six-run fifth for the 66ers erased a two-run Rancho lead and gave Inland Empire the lead for good, as Quakes' reliever Christian Ruebeck (1-1) struggled while recording just two outs in the fifth.
Inland Empire's Anthony Scull and Imanol Vargas had three hits each for the second straight day, helping Inland score a new season-high with 18 runs, surpassing their last two games in which they scored 12 each.
Rancho had three hits from Juan Alonso and Jesus Galiz and got a team-high sixth homer of the year from Jordan Thompson, but it wasn't nearly enough, as the Quakes dropped their second straight game overall and split the six-game series with their division-rivals.
Inland Empire reliever Christian Young (2-2) was credited with the win.
The Quakes (22-15) will take Monday off, then host Modesto on Tuesday in a six-game set at 6;30pm. Jose Rodriguez (5-1) will take on Modesto's Elijah Dale in the opening game.
