Visalia, CA – The Quakes survived a scary ninth, then proceeded to score eight runs in the tenth inning, taking a 13-7 win over the Visalia Rawhide on Saturday night at Valley Strong Ballpark.
Leading 5-4 in the ninth, Myles Caba (4-1) surrendered a two-out double off the wall with two men aboard. The tying run scored on the play, but the potential winning run was called out at the plate, as shortstop Elijah Hainline took a throw from center fielder Eduardo Quintero, then threw a strike to catcher Victor Rodrigues to force extra innings.
In the tenth, Rancho exploded for eight runs, with an RBI single from Jose Meza off Darlin Pinales (0-2), a two-run single from Rodrigues, a two-run double from Mairo Martinus and multiple bases-loaded walks.
Leading 13-5 in the last of the tenth, Rancho gave up a pair, but sealed the deal to end a four-game road losing streak and set up a potential series-win on Sunday.
The Quakes (6-8, 47-33) will send Sterling Patick (1-3) to the mound at 2pm on Sunday, as he’ll take on Erick Reynoso (2-6) in the finale.
The Quakes will return to LoanMart Field on Tuesday, July 8, as they’ll host Inland Empire for a six-game home stand and another Healthy RC Recycle Tuesday. Tickets are available at rcquakes.com. Go Quakes!
