STOCKTON, Calif. – The Ports (20-30) fell behind Rancho Cucamonga early and could not get the offense going in a 16-1 loss in game five of the series.

Itsuki Takemoto finished up the fourth inning for Stockton with 0.2 innings pitched allowing zero runs on one hit and one walk with two strikeouts.

Trey Gregory-Alford pitched 5.2 scoreless innings for the Quakes, allowing three hits and three walks with seven strikeouts. Nicolo Pinazzi was good out of the bullpen for Rancho Cucamonga with two scoreless innings of his own allowing two hits and one walk on five strikeouts.
Stockton did get on the board in the ninth after a Max Durrington leadoff double was followed by walks of Bobby Blandford and Daniel Bucciero. Durrington scored on a Breyson Guedez RBI ground out.
