Rancho Cucamonga, CA - On Tuesday morning at LoanMart Field, the Fresno Grizzlies (6-4) were shaken by the Rancho Cucamonga Quakes (6-4) 7-6 on a ninth inning walk off single.

The Grizzlies had a promising start as lefty Caleb Franzen pitched six strong innings and exited with a lead. Fresno's bullpen couldn't keep the 5-2 advantage though, as Rancho Cucamonga scored four runs over the seventh and eighth frames. The Grizzlies found a way to tie the contest in the top of the ninth from a Quakes error to further the game. In the bottom of the ninth, with the game tied at 6-6, the Quakes' Kyle Nevin hit a walk-off single to right field, bringing home the winning run.

Jesus Bugarin highlighted the Fresno offense with a trio of hits, including a homer and two runs scored. Ryan Ritter spanked two hits and EJ Andrews Jr. roped a double, his fourth extra-base hit in three contests. Jake Snider, Bryant Betancourt and Luis Mendez added one RBI each. Nevin recorded four hits included the Quakes' game winner and Jesus Galiz mashed a tater.
