Rancho Cucamonga, CA – The Rancho Cucamonga Quakes temporarily staved off playoff elimination, thanks to a 10-6 victory over the Lake Elsinore Storm on Tuesday night at LoanMart Field.
However, just minutes after the Quakes celebrated a victory, the Inland Empire 66ers secured a 4-3 win in ten innings to clinch a playoff spot and eliminate Rancho from the playoff picture.
Nick Biddison enjoyed his first career multi-homer game, including the go-ahead three-run blast in the fifth inning against Storm reliever Dylan Nedved (0-1), as the Quakes won their second straight. Biddison finished with three hits, four RBIs and now has four round-trippers on the year.
Alex Freeland (2) went deep for the second straight game and had three RBIs in Tuesday’s win. Bubba Alleyne (3) also homered and finished with a pair of hits.
On the hill, Rancho got some strong work out of Darlin Pinales (1-0) who notched the win, while allowing two runs over four innings or relief.
Rancho (32-29, 68-59) will look to keep it rolling on Wednesday night, sending lefty Justin Wrobleski (1-1) to the mound against Victor Lizarraga (7-3) at 6:30pm.
Wednesday will feature our final Terra Vista Animal Hospital Bark in the Ballpark, as four-legged friends will be welcome to LoanMart Field with the purchase of a $3 Pet Pass. Tickets for the entire home stand are available at rcquakes.com. We hope to see you at LoanMart Field...Go Quakes!
