RANCHO CUCAMONGA -- The Giants continued their mastery over the Quakes this season as the Giants won their fifth of five contests against the Quakes this season, tonight by a 7-6 score in 11 innings at a sold out LoanMart Field.

Willie Calhoun was the star of the game for the Quakes going 4-for-5 with three runs scored, two RBI and a home run.

Chase De Jong started for the Quakes and in his five innings of work, De Jong gave up four runs (three earned), eight hits, a walk and struck out three. Michael Johnson followed with a scoreless inning.

The Giants scored first when Daniel Carbonell drove in the rehabbing Angel Pagan with a ground out to shortstop. The Quakes would tie the game in the second, Tyler Ogle scored on a single by Spencer Navin.

The Giants went ahead when they scored two runs in the third, one of the runs was unearned as Carbonell scored on an error by leftfielder Jacob Scavuzzo. The Quakes scored one in the bottom of the third as Willie Calhoun scored on Cody Bellinger's sacrifice fly.
