TinCaps Drop Series to South Bend
South Bend, Indiana (August 9, 2025) – The Fort Wayne TinCaps lost Saturday night, falling to the South Bend Cubs 4-1 at Four Winds Field.
South Bend (44-62, 21-19), for the first time this series, scored the game’s first run. In the bottom of the third inning, Cristian Hernandez (No. 10 Cubs prospect) launched a two-run home run the opposite way to right field – his sixth home run of the season.
Third Baseman Reggie Preciado lined an RBI double in the bottom of the fourth to put the Cubs up 3-0. Shortstop Ryan Jackson singled, walked, and scored the TinCaps’ lone run, having reached base in now 38 of his 41 games played in Fort Wayne (50-56, 19-22).
Cubs’ designated hitter Ariel Armas once again reached all four times he went to the plate, going 3-for-3 with two singles, a double, and a walk. It is his fourth three-hit game this week and fifth of the season – all of which have come against Fort Wayne. Armas is 14-for-16 (.875) this series and has the best batting average in MiLB in August at .640. This series alone has risen his batting average up 43 points (.189 to .232).
A day removed from his 22nd birthday, left-fielder Kasen Wells reached three times, including a pair of singles, for his first High-A multi-hit game.
