Rancho Cucamonga Quakes News Release


Rancho Cucamonga, CA - In the first home game of the second half, the Rancho Cucamonga Quakes (44-32, 3-5) returned to their winning ways with a 10-2 victory over the Lancaster JetHawks (39-37, 5-3).

In game one of the four-game set, Josiah Gray dazzled again as a member of the Rancho rotation, while the bats came alive to snap a lengthy scoreless stretch.

Gray (5-0), notching the win, is now tied for the team-lead in victories, despite his promotion to the Cal League in mid-May. The New Rochelle, NY native spun a magnificent seven innings of one-run baseball, with eight strikeouts and no free-passes.

As for the offense, they came out of an offensive slumber with a five-run bottom of the third, ending a stretch of 22 innings without recording a tally. Devin Mann (16th) and Jeren Kendall (7th) blasted back-to-back solo home runs to kickstart the frame, while Jordan Procyshen (3rd) capped off the explosion with a no-doubt, two-run homer.

To cap off the night, Kendall (8th) headlined a three-run bottom of the eighth, smacking a two-run shot for his first multi-homer game of the campaign.

Not to be overlooked, both Deacon Liput and Niko Hulsizer pieced together three-hit performances. Liput and Hulsizer's six combined hits were apart of Rancho's 13 total hits on Thursday evening.

Garrett Schilling (4-4) suffered his second-straight defeat to Rancho in as many starts, surrendering six runs (five earned) and three home runs.

On Friday, with aspirations of back-to-back wins, the Quakes send RHP Andre Jackson (0-1) to the mound. The JetHawks will call upon LHP Ryan Rolison (2-3) for his 12th start of the season.

Friday night's contest with Lancaster at LoanMart Field is SOLD OUT for Cody Bellinger Bobblehead Giveaway, presented by The Smile Generation.
