Lake Elsinore, CA - The Quakes continued to click at a high level on Saturday night, as they dropped the Storm for a fourth time in five games, defeating Lake Elsinore by a final of 9-3 at The Diamond in Lake Elsinore.
Jorbit Vivas and Sauryn Lao each had two hits and combined for three RBIs, while Jacob Cantleberry and a slew of Rancho relievers held the Storm to just one hit over the final five innings of Saturday's game.
Cantleberry (3-0) allowed just one hit over 2.2 innings in earning the win in relief.
Tied at 3-3 in the fifth, the Quakes exploded for four runs against Storm reliever Miguel Rondon (1-1). Alex De Jesus had the go-ahead hit, an RBI double, putting Rancho up 4-3. Vivas followed with his second run-scoring hit of the night, singling home De Jesus to make it 5-3. Three batters later, Eddys Leonard recorded the back-breaker, a two-run single to make it 7-3.
