Quakes Take Down 66ers, 4-3
Rancho Cucamonga Quakes starter Joe Groves pitched well against the Inland Empire 66ers at LoanMart Field, leading his team to a win, 4-3. The win was credited to Mike McLean in relief. His record improves to 6-2. Mike Taylor took the loss. The Quakes have a one-game lead in the South Division.

The clutch at-bat came in the bottom of the ninth inning, when Rancho Cucamonga designated hitter Elroy Long, facing Mike Taylor, had a run-scoring hit-by-pitch. It gave the Quakes the 4-3 win.

Said losing manager Kent Matthes: "Not taking anything away from them, but we swung the bats better than what it showed."
