Rancho Cucamonga, CA - For the third straight day, the Rancho Cucamonga Quakes were convincingly defeated by the Inland Empire 66ers, losing 6-3 on Sunday afternoon at LoanMart Field.
The Quakes (80-57, 39-30) have had trouble with the Sixers (57-81, 31-38) recently, dropping four straight head-to-head games to their South Division counterpart.
Dillon Paulson, who ended up finishing 2-for-4, got the offense going in the bottom of the second, launching a solo homer to right-center, his fourth.
However, Inland would score five out of the game's last seven runs. The big blow occurred in the top of the seventh when Michael Cruz (3rd) belted a two-out, three-run blast, making it 6-2 at the time.
Tyler Smith (2-2), out of the Sixers' bullpen, grabbed the victory, tossing three innings with two earned runs, six strikeouts and no walks. Reliever Luke Lind fired two scoreless innings to net his third save.
Wills Montgomerie (9-3), who followed Andre Jackson (3 IP/1 ER/5K), shouldered the loss, surrendering five earned runs on five hits in four frames.
In the regular-season finale, Rancho will send RHP Jose Martinez (2-0) to the mound. Inland Empire will counter with RHP Cristopher Molina (2-5).
