Lake Elsinore, CA – The Storm led from start to finish on Thursday night, shutting out the Quakes by a final of 10-0 at The Diamond.
Storm starter Kannon Kemp (3-4) was brilliant, tossing a career-high six innings of shutout baseball, as Rancho mustered just five total hits all night, as they endured their sixth shutout of the year.
Quakes’ starter Jakob Wright returned from a two month-plus stint on the Injured List and struggled with his command, as he got touched for three first-inning runs.
The Storm took advantage of a Rancho error to add two more in the third, then scored twice in the fourth to make it 7-0 against Jesus Tillero.
Lake Elsinore’s Dylan Grego (2) and Kavares Tears (12) both went deep in the eighth to round out the scoring.
Charles Davalan finished 1-for-4 and extended his hitting streak to seven straight to start his pro career.
