Rancho Cucamonga Quakes News Release
San Bernardino, CA - The Rancho Cucamonga Quakes won their 44th game of the second half, establishing a new franchise record for number of wins in a single half, as they dropped the Inland Empire 66ers in the opening game of a four-game set, 9-6 on Friday night at San Manuel Stadium.
Leo Crawford improved to 7-0 in a Rancho uniform and the Quakes blasted three homers en route to their fourth straight win overall.
Carlos Rincon's 11th round-tripper in 21 games put the Quakes ahead to stay in the first against 66ers' starter Michael Santos (0-1).
Omar Estevez extended his hitting streak to a personal-best 15 straight, as he belted a solo homer in the third, giving Rancho a 4-1 lead.
Donovan Casey opened the fourth inning with his fifth of the year, driving the lead to 5-1.
Crawford (7-0) would allow three runs on five hits over six innings, notching the victory.
Michael Boyle worked a 1-2-3 ninth, securing his sixth save in as many tries.
