Stockton, CA – The Quakes continued their strong play on the road on Thursday night, holding on for an 8-7 win over the Stockton Ports at Banner Island Ballpark.
Sean McLain (3) homered for the second time in three games and a three-run double by Carlos Rojas gave the Quakes the lead for good against Stockton starter Tzu-Chen Sha (2-2), as Rancho won their third straight road game, giving them a 4-2 mark on the current nine-game trip.
Jose Meza had a pair of run-scoring doubles to help the cause, with Rancho pounding out ten hits in the victory.
Starter Cam Day went four innings and gave up five runs. Waylin Santana (1-3) followed in relief and thanks to some strong run support, earned his first win in a Rancho uniform with 1.1 innings of work.
