Rancho Cucamonga, CA – The Quakes dropped their fourth straight game overall on Thursday night, as the San Jose Giants came up with a ten-inning 6-4 victory at LoanMart Field.

In the tenth, Dilan Figueredo (0-1), making his season-debut for Rancho, surrendered an RBI single to the first batter of the inning, as Jakob Christian singled home Maui Ahuna to put the Giants ahead to stay. Christian later scored on a throwing error, giving the Giants a two-run lead.
The Quakes went in order in the bottom of the inning, as San Jose’s Cade Vernon held on for his second save of the year.
