Rancho Cucamonag, CA - The Lake Elsinore Storm needed extras on Tuesday night, but they sliced a game off the Quakes' South Division lead with a 4-3 win in ten at LoanMart Field.

A sac fly off the bat of Charlis Aquino in the tenth was the difference, as the Quakes were forced to try and rally for a third time.

After trailing 2-0 and 3-2 earlier in the night, Rancho wasn't able to find the tenth-inning magic, as Chris Newell lined into a double-play to open the tenth, as Rayne Doncon was doubled off the bag at second base. Storm reliever Kobe Robinson (5-0), who tossed three scoreless innings, finished off the tenth by getting Thayron Liranzo on a fly ball to left to end it.

Newell ripped his league-best 13th homer of the year in the seventh, helping Rancho rally for a second time, tying the game at 3-3.

Livan Reinoso (0-1) was the tough-luck loser for the Quakes, as despite not giving up any hits or walks, the inherited run came into score on a sac fly.

With their lead in the South Division down to 4.5 games, the Quakes (27-13) will send Chris Campos (5-0) to the mound on Wednesday, as he'll take on Storm lefty Jagger Haynes (0-2) at 6:30pm.
