Rancho Cucamonga Quakes News Release
Visalia, CA - Eduardo Quintero smacked two of Rancho's season-high four home runs, as the Quakes walloped the Visalia Rawhide on Thursday night by a final of 13-0 at Valley Strong Ballpark.
The win marked Rancho's league-leading 21st of the year and gave them their second shutout of the Visalia series, their third in the last five games and their fourth of the year.
The 13-run margin of victory is also Rancho's largest of the year.
Quintero opened the game with a homer, becoming the first Quake to lead off with a home run this year, making it 1-0 over Visalia starter Lorenzo Encarnacion (3-1).
Two batters later, Samuel Munoz (2) smacked a solo-shot, making it 2-0.
In the third, Jose Meza got in on the act, launching a three-run shot to left, his second of the year, making it 5-0.
Mike Sirota, who enjoyed a three-hit night, singled and scored in the fifth, as Jaron Elkins singled him home to make it 6-0.
Sirota brought home two more in the sixth with his third hit of the night. The Quakes got four in the eighth, thanks in part to an Elijah Hainline three-run double, then capped the scoring in the ninth, as Quintero homered again, his team-leading sixth, making it 13-0.
Sterling Patick dominated again on the mound, as the reigning Cal League Pitcher of the Week fired four shutout innings. Jholbran Herder (3-0) was credited with the win, after tossing three scoreless frames.
The Quakes (21-9) will send Hyun-Seok Jang (0-1) to the mound on Friday, as he'll take on Visalia's Junior Sanchez (0-0) at 6:30pm.
The Quakes will return to LoanMart Field on Tuesday, May 13th, hosting the Inland Empire 66ers for Healthy RC Recycle Tuesday. Log on to our website and learn how to score a free ticket to the game on Tuesday. Tickets are available at rcquakes.com. Go Quakes!
