Gelof had a bases-loaded walk in the first and then a three-run blast in the third, as the Quakes built a 5-1 lead over Visalia starter Casey Anderson (1-2).
Rancho starter Chris Campos gave up two runs on three hits over four innings in the no-decision.
Josue De Paula had three hits and scored three runs for the Quakes, who finished with ten hits on the night.
