Quakes Cap Season with Loss to Storm

Rancho Cucamonga, CA – The Quakes dropped the final game of the 2022 regular season on Sunday afternoon at LoanMart Field, as the Lake Elsinore Storm scored four times in the ninth for a 5-2 victory.

Down to their last strike, Tyler Robertson slugged a two-out grand slam against Madison Jeffrey (2-3), as the Storm took the lead for good.

Storm reliever Matt Boswell (2-1) tossed two innings of scoreless relief, working around a lead-off single in the ninth to get the win.

Rancho’s Kyle Fromke (3) cracked a solo homer in the second inning, giving Rancho their first lead of the day.

Tied at 1-1 in the eighth, Marco Hernandez doubled home Juan Alonso, temporarily giving the Quakes a 2-1 lead.

Darlin Pinales was brilliant on Sunday, going a game-high 4.1 innings of scoreless relief for Rancho.
