Rancho Cucamonga Quakes News Release
San Bernardino, CA - The Quakes swept a double-header on Saturday night and recorded their first road series win, taking two from the Inland Empire 66ers at San Manuel Stadium.
Rancho took game one by a final of 9-6, rallying on a couple of different occasions. Jake Gelof had three hits and three RBIs, while Jordan Thompson smashed a long go-ahead two-run homer in the seventh, putting the Quakes ahead to stay for good against Jose Fermin (0-2). Jorge Gonzalez (2-0) pitched scoreless relief to earn the win, while Noah Ruen closed out the ninth for his first save.
Game two saw Jeral Perez crush a pair of solo homers off Inland Empire starter Christian Young (1-1) on their way to a 6-2 win to complete the double-header sweep. Perez set the tone in game two, swatting the first pitch of the game over the fence to give the Quakes a lead they would never relinquish. Perez struck again in the third, giving him three home runs in the series.
Patrick Copen (1-1) allowed just one run over three innings of relief to earn the win.
Rancho (8-4) will look for five of six in the series on Sunday at 2:05pm, sending Edgardo Henriquez (0-0) to the mound, opposite lefty Francis Texido (0-1) in the finale.
The Quakes will return to LoanMart Field on April 23 for a Healthy RC Recycle Tuesday. Tickets are available at rcquakes.com. Go Quakes!
