Rancho Cucamonga Wins at Home to Narrow Series Deficit to 2-1
The Rancho Cucamonga Quakes topped the Lake Elsinore Storm, 7-1, in Game 3 of the Round 1. Most impressive was left-hander Tyler Pitzer, who threw 6.1 innings allowing 1 run. The win cuts Rancho Cucamonga's deficit in the series to 2-1.

Frank Gomez took Lake Elsinore hurler Eddie Heber deep in the bottom of the first. His 3-run home run put the Quakes on top, 3-1. In all, Gomez had 1 single in addition to the home run, while going 2 for 4.

"They say the first rule of the playoffs is to win the home games," Gomez said afterward. "It feels nice, but it is kind of what we were supposed to do."

The next game is set to be played tomorrow at LoanMart Field in Rancho Cucamonga.
