Quakes Prevail, 4-2, Over Inland Empire
Rancho Cucamonga right-hander Joe Groves pitched his team to victory over the Inland Empire 66ers at LoanMart Field. The final score was 4-2. Ken Smith earned the save for Rancho Cucamonga. The Quakes now own a record of 55-55.

Chris Hartley had a big 3-run home run for the Quakes in the bottom of the fifth inning. With Rancho Cucamonga trailing 2-0 and runners on 1st and 2nd, he got a slider from Caleb Smith, who was drafted in the 2nd round of the 2023 draft, and swatted a home run to left. It was his 5th home run of the season, and more importantly, it put the Quakes ahead, 3-2.

"I like what I saw today," said Rancho Cucamonga manager Matt Holliday, "and I can't wait to get back out there and do it again."
