LAKE ELSINORE (AP) — Chris Mariscal hit a two-run single in the second inning, leading the Modesto Nuts to a 4-3 win over the Lake Elsinore Storm on Monday.

Bryan Bonnell allowed a run, but got Peter Van Gansen to fly out with runners on first and second to end the game for his first save of the season.

The single by Mariscal scored Donnie Walton and Jay Baum to give the Nuts a 2-0 lead.

Trailing 4-2, the Storm cut into the deficit in the ninth inning when Austin Allen hit a solo home run.

Modesto right-hander Reggie McClain (5-2) picked up a quality start and the win after allowing two runs on seven hits over six innings. Opposing starter Cal Quantrill (3-2) took the loss in the California League game after allowing three runs and five hits over four innings.

For the Storm, Allen homered and singled, scoring two runs.
