Rehabbing Dodgers lefty Rich Hill made a start for Rancho Cucamonga and squared off with Lake Elsinore’s MacKenzie Gore Wednesday night. Hill went four scoreless innings, throwing 54 pitches (38 strikes) and allowing two hits and no runs with no walks and eight strikeouts. The Quakes won the game with two ninth-inning runs for a 4-2 final to pull even with the Storm at the top of the South Division standings at 8-6.
Gore went six innings and allowed two runs on three hits with no walks and three strikeouts. The score remained 2-0 until Lake Elsinore pushed across two runs in the bottom of the eighth to tie it up, but the Quakes came back with two of their own in the top of the ninth with some small-ball.
