Rancho Cucamonga Quakes News Release
Rancho Cucamonga, CA - The Lake Elsinore Storm held on for a 3-1 win over the Rancho Cucamonga Quakes on Wednesday night, taking two of three from the Quakes in the series at The Epicenter.
Storm starter Erik Davis (7-2) fired five scoreless innings and All-Star closer Brad Brach worked a 1-2-3 ninth for his league-leading 25th save of the year.
Reigning Cal League pitcher Tyler Chatwood was denied his league-leading ninth win, as he surrendered two runs on five hits over six innings, taking the loss and ending his seven-game winning streak.
Chatwood (8-3) was touched for a pair of runs in the third, as Drew Cumblerland and Cole Figueroa had back-to-back RBI hits, putting the Storm in front 2-0.
The Quakes didn't break through on the scoreboard until the eighth. Beau Brooks walked to open the inning against Storm reliever Nick Vincent. After Darwin Perez reached with a bunt base hit, Rian Kiniry poked a single through the hole on the left side, loading the bases for Tyson Auer. Auer delivered a deep fly ball to center field, scoring Brooks and moving Perez to third, making it 2-1. Alexi Amarista fanned for the second out though and Gabe Jacobo popped up to center field to end the rally.
Quakes' closer Eddie McKiernan gave up a run in the ninth, as Robert Lara knocked in Daniel Robertson with an RBI single, making it 3-1.
The Quakes couldn't touch Brach in the ninth, as they went in order, with Angel Castillo striking out to end the game.
The Quakes (38-29) look to rebound on Thursday night, opening a three-game set against Inland Empire, here at The Epicenter. Manny Flores (1-3) takes on Inland Empire's Ethan Martin (6-5), with first pitch scheduled for 7:05pm. Thursday is another Buffalo Wild Wings Thirsty Thursday, as fans can enjoy $2 domestic 16-oz drafts and $2 20-oz sodas throughout the night, all thanks to Buffalo Wild Wings and X-103.9.
On Thursday at 12noon, the Quakes invite you to enjoy "Lunch With a Quake" at Buffalo Wild Wings, located at 8188 Day Creek Boulevard. Quakes' pitchers Christian Scholl and Matt Shoemaker will be on hand to sign autographs and have lunch with fans. Hope to see you there!
