San Jose, CA – Ty Hanchey’s tie-breaking homer in the eighth sent the San Jose Giants to the lead for good, as they defeated the Quakes on Tuesday night at Excite Ballpark by a final of 7-5.
After the Quakes tied the game at 5-5 with Carlos Rojas’ second two-run double of the night, Hanchey blasted a Noah Ruen pitch over the right-field wall, giving the Giants a two-run lead.
In the ninth, Giants’ closer Cole Hillier (4-3), who gave up two in the eighth, worked around a lead-off walk to secure the win, sending Rancho to their fourth straight defeat and their ninth loss in the last ten games.
Rancho reliever Reynaldo Yean (2-2) took the loss and left just two batters into his outing, with an apparent injury.
The Quakes (29-26, 59-60) still trail Visalia by just two games with 11 to go, despite Tuesday’s loss.
On Wednesday, Rancho will send Hyun-Seok Jang (0-1) to the mound against San Jose’s Ryan Vanderhei (2-2) at 1pm.
The Quakes will return to LoanMart Field for their final home stand of the regular season on Tuesday, September 3. Tuesday will be a Healthy RC Recycle Tuesday, as fans can log on to the website to learn how to get a FREE Club Seat Ticket. Tickets are available at rcquakes.com. Go Quakes!
