Quakes Keep It Rolling on Friday

Rancho Cucamonga, CA – The Quakes won their season-high fifth straight game, blowing out Lake Elsinore yet again on Friday night, taking a 9-1 decision over the Storm at LoanMart Field.

Jonny DeLuca, Alex De Jesus and Ismael Alcantara all went deep and the Rancho pitching staff posted their best outing of the series so far, allowing just five hits and one run on the night.

Quakes’ starter Robbie Peto was solid over three innings, allowing one run on two hits, while striking out six batters in the no-decision.

Daniel Cruz (2-1) who was credited with the win, retired all six hitters in relief of Peto, including three by strikeout.

Rancho’s offense enjoyed another big night against the struggling Storm, as DeLuca highlighted a three-run first with his team-leading 12th homer of the year.

De Jesus clubbed his ninth the following inning, a three-run shot to make it 6-0 after just two innings against Storm starter Levi Thomas (1-3).

Alcantara’s solo-shot in the fifth capped the scoring, as his third of the year made it 9-1.

The Quakes (30-27) look to continue their dominance over the Storm on Saturday, sending Jimmy Lewis (0-2) to the hill, opposite Storm lefty Noel Vela (1-5).
