The Visalia Rawhide graciously accepted three errors by Rancho Cucamonga to post a four-run inning in a 4-2 victory over the Quakes on Saturday night at Valley Strong Ballpark. Yilber Diaz (W, 4-2) struck out nine over six innings and combined with two relievers to make the big inning stand up.
Rancho Cucamonga took a 1-0 lead in the second inning on a Kenneth Betancourt RBI single. It was the only run Diaz would allow.

SS Ezequiel Tovar homered and drove in three runs, including the game-winner in the bottom of the 1th inning as the Fresno Grizzlies won a see-saw battle with the Visalia Rawhide Friday night. The Rawhide scored single runs in the 10th and 11th innings but couldn’t put the game in the win column as Fresno tied it back up in the 11th and won on the strength of Tovar’s two-run double to end it.
Fresno starter RHP Will Ethridge went five innings allowing one run on three hits and striking out six with no walks as the Grizzlies held on to an early 2-1 lead. Tovar, the Colorado Rockies’ #20 prospect per MLB Pipeline, tacked on a run with a solo homer in the fifth.
Visalia rallied for two runs in the eighth to tie it at 3-3 on a Ronnie Simon single to RF where Zac Veen let the ball get past him and two runners scored. Simon was thrown out at the plate, which would prove crucial as the game ended up going to extra innings.
RHP Fineas Del Bonta-Smith went two innings in relief for the Grizzlies, striking out six. He allowed an unearned run to score by the installed runner in the 10th after pitching a scoreless ninth.
The Rawhide fell to 1-9 on the season. RHP Brandon Pfaadt went five innings, allowing three runs on five hits with one walk and three strikeouts.
The Grizzlies are 7-3 and tied with Modesto for first place in the North division.
