Quakes Split to Snap Skid

After a rough week, involving a season high ten game losing streak, the Quakes salvaged the final 2 games of a 4 game series against the Bakersfield Blaze to not only snap their losing streak, but to split the series and start a new win streak as well. After the Quakes took early leads in the first two games of the series, the Blaze managed to comeback and record the wins, but in the final two games, the Quakes scored early and in plentiful amounts. With the help of "Dodger" rehabber, Alex Guerrero and the return of utility player, Casio Grider, the Quakes managed to stay at and above the .500 mark.

The Quakes outscored the Blaze, 29-22, as well as outhit them, 44-35.
