Lake Elsinore, CA – The Quakes got rocked for the second time in three days down at The Diamond, dropping a 22-4 decision to the Lake Elsinore Storm, their second 18-run defeat in their last three games.
A nine-run sixth blew the doors off for the Storm, as Lake Elsinore has won three of the five games in the series thus far.
Leading 1-0 in the first, Rancho starter Roque Gutierrez (0-1) was unable to protect the lead, as the first five Storm hitters reached and scored, as a three-run double from Devin Ortiz highlighted the five-run first.
Trailing 5-1 in the fourth, Dayton Dooney blasted a three-run triple, making it 5-4.
That’s as close as the Quakes would get though, as the Storm would score the final 17 runs of the game.
Storm reliever Enmanuel Linares (1-0) was credited with the win, tossing 2.1 innings of scoreless relief in his Storm debut.
The Quakes (11-12, 50-39) will send Christian Romero (5-0) to the mound in Sunday’s finale, as the Storm will counter with Miguel Mendez (1-2). Game time from The Diamond will be 1:15pm.
