Modesto, CA – The Modesto Nuts held on for a 4-2 win over the Quakes on Sunday afternoon, as the two teams split the six-game series at John Thurman Field.
Jerming Rosario gave up a pair of first-inning run and the Nuts never trailed, snapping Rancho’s two-game winning streak.
Damon Keith had an RBI-double to help pull Rancho to within a run at 2-1 in the third.
In the sixth, trailing 3-1, Rancho got another run back as Austin Gauthier doubled off the center-field fence, bringing home Luis Diaz to make it 3-2.
An automatic balk cost the Quakes a run in the last of the eighth inning and seemed to take the wind out of their proverbial sails, as Rancho went 1-2-3 in the ninth against reliever Andrew Moore.
The Quakes (8-7) take a day off on Monday, before returning home on Tuesday to face Visalia. Kendall Williams (0-1) takes on Diomede Sierra (0-0) at 6:30pm in the series opener.
