Rosario went 4-for-5 with a homer, three RBIs and four runs scored. He fell a triple shy of the cycle on the eve of his 20th birthday.
A team hadn't scored in all nine innings in a Cal League game since Rancho Cucamonga did it against High Desert on July 5, 2010. The first team to complete the cloud nine was San Jose on June 30, 2008 against Bakersfield.
Cordoba drove in the Storm's first three runs with a groundout in the first and a double in a three-run second. The 23-year-old, who played 100 games with the Padres as a Rule 5 Draft pick in 2017, went 3-for-5 with three RBIs and two runs scored.
All nine players in the Lake Elsinore lineup contributed to the team's season-high 21-hit night; all but two scored a run and seven of the nine drove in at least one of a season-high 16 runs.
