The Midwest League-leading Loons (33-21, 73-47) took a 2-0 lead in the bottom of the first inning with a pair of unearned runs.
The TinCaps (20-33, 47-72) responded immediately, tying the game in the top of the second, as 20-year-old Josstin Diaz, in his ‘Caps debut, drove in a run with a bases-loaded fielder’s choice grounder, and another run scored on an error by Great Lakes first baseman Luis Diaz.
But Great Lakes went back ahead with a run in the third and another in the fourth.
Fort Wayne pulled to within a run thanks to a sacrifice fly by center fielder Justin Farmer.
The ‘Caps had their chances, but went 0-for-7 with runners in scoring position and left 11 runners on base. All five of the team’s hits were singles, with two coming from third baseman Carlos Luis, and another pair from shortstop Jarryd Dale. Farmer had the other.
