RANCHO CUCAMONGA, Calif. – The Ports had an emphatic answer to last night’s loss by shaking down the Quakes 11-1 on Saturday night to set up an opportunity to split the six-game series tomorrow.
Breyson Guedez had his first five RBI night with three doubles, Max Durrington had a three-hit night – including two triples – and Luis Burgos delivered four shutout innings on 74 pitches in his transition from reliever to starter to help power the Ports to the 10-run win.
Stockton jumped out to an early 2-0 lead when Durrington tripled (3) into right to score Michael Brooks, and Guedez doubled (15) into the left field corner to score Durrington for the two-run lead. The Ports put up a three spot in the second on a bases-clearing double by Guedez (16) after chasing one of the Quakes top starters in Trey Gregory-Alford to go up 5-0.
A solo home run (5) for Gavin Turley extended the lead to 6-0 and another RBI double for Guedez (17) scored Durrington after his second triple (4) of the night to go up 7-0.
The Ports fully blew the game open in the seventh taking advantage of wildness from Rancho lefty Will Gervase. An RBI single from Edgar Montero was followed by a Tommy Takayoshi hit by a pitch with the bases loaded that scored a run, then Brooks delivered an RBI single followed by a sac fly from Durrington to put the Ports up 11-0.
After two strong, shutout innings from Cole Miller – who earned the win – the Quakes managed to scratch across a run in the bottom of the seventh when Montero tried to turn a double play but committed a throwing error to break up a shutout to make it an 11-1 game for an unearned run against Jackson Holmes. Bjay Cooke got the last out of the of the eighth and closed out the ninth to seal the 11-1 win.
