Rancho Cucamonga Quakes News Release
Rancho Cucamonga, CA- Inland Empire took advantage of every opportunity Monday night as the 66ers plated two runs in the first after two David Herndon walks, Austin Gallagher singled to center to score both to take an early 2-0 lead.
Rancho cut that lead in half in the second as Mark Trumbo homered, his career high 15th of the season, to cut the lead to 2-1.
The 66ers would go on to score four unanswered runs, one in the 3rd, two in the 4th and one in the 6th against Herndon to jump out to a 6-1 lead.
The Quakes plated two runs in the sixth to cut the lead in half on back to back sacrifice flies from Hank Conger and Ryan Mount, to score Abel Nieves and Trumbo respectively to make it a 6-3 deficit.
Two more runs scored in the 7th against a combination of Herndon and reliever Bobby Cassevah to trail 8-3 after seven innings.
The ninth inning got a little crazy for both teams as the Quakes allowed 9 runs to score in the top of the ninth to trail 17-3. The big hits were a Trayvon Robinson three-run home run, a two-run double by Carlos Santana and back to back RBI singles by Tommy Giles and Justin Fuller.
Rancho came back with four runs of their own in the bottom of the ninth with two outs on a two-run single by Abel Nieves. After a Trumbo single, Conger doubled to left center to score two more runs to bring the score to an eventual final of 17-7. Trumbo finished 3x5 with a home run, double and three runs scored and Conger was 2x3 with a double and three RBI.
The Quakes will head on the road to High Desert to start a three game series starting Tuesday at 7:05pm. Rancho will go with Trevor Bell on the mound against right hander Anthony Varvaro.
