Rancho Cucamonga, CA- Los Temblores de Rancho Cucamonga took to the field on Sunday afternoon and were halted offensively as the Modesto Nuts evened the series with a 3-1 win over Rancho.
Modesto pitching retired 16 in a row to close out the game as Los Temblores struggled to get a base runner.
Cristian Santana supplied the only run of the day with a 457 foot solo-home run to center that gave Rancho a 1-zip lead in the second.
Starting pitcher Isaac Anderson allowed the only run of his outing when Louis Boyd tied the game with a RBI-groundout in the fourth. Anderson lasted a season-long six innings and delivered his first quality start of the year in a no-decision.
Austin Hamilton recorded two outs in the seventh and worked out of the bullpen with a man on third. Joe Rizzo popped into shallow left and Santana had the ball slip in and out of his glove, scoring the go-ahead run.
Leading 2-1 in the eighth, Modesto added insurance against Hamilton with an RBI-single to cap the score at 3-1.
Jeffeson Medina (4-2) recorded the win out of the bullpen as he, J.T Salter and Wyatt Mills combined for four perfect innings to lock down the game. Mills pitched the ninth and recorded his tenth save on the year.
Los Temblores did not manage to get a man aboard following Santana's single in the fourth. Santana and Gavin Lux both finished with multi-hit games but were the only batters with a knock on the day, combining for Rancho's four hits.
The loss forces a rubber-match on Monday as the Quakes wrap up the series with Modesto at 10:35 AM. RHP Dustin May (6-3, 3.33 ERA) is scheduled to start for Rancho and be opposed by fellow right-hander Ljay Newsome (5-7, 4.92 ERA).
