Inland Empire had a four-run inning to build a lead, then pulled away with a six-run inning as they beat Visalia 11-2 on Saturday night at Valley Strong Ballpark. The 2-5 hitters did plenty of damage with nine RBIs, led by Edgar Quero who homered (5) and Werner Blakely who drove in three.
Quero got the scoring started with a first-inning blast, his third of the series. Visalia answered in the bottom of the first when Wilderd Patino singled, advanced to second on a Deyvison De Los Santos single, stole third and finally came home on a wild pitch.
