A four-run eighth inning pushed the Inland Empire 66ers past the Rancho Cucamonga Quakes for a 5-4 win on Thursday night at San Manuel Stadium. Coming up to bat with a 4-1 deficit, the 66ers (7-5) rallied for the win and took sole possession of first place in the South division.
The Quakes (6-6) did all of their scoring in a four-run second inning that included Jesus Galiz‘ fourth home run of the season. Starter Peter Heubeck kept the 66ers quiet, going five innings and allowing one run on three hits and two walks with five strikeouts.
