Cummings Homers in Front of Sell-Out Crowd<\/strong><\/p>\n

Fort Wayne, Indiana (August 5, 2022) – Parkview Field hosted its seventh sell-out crowd of the season on Thursday night, but the TinCaps lost to the South Bend Cubs, 3-1. Fort Wayne put the tying runners into scoring position in the bottom of the ninth inning in front of 7,557 fans, however, couldn’t get over the hump. <\/p>\n

The ‘Caps have proven to be a team that plays its hardest until the final out, yet has a tendency to come up short. The Summit City club is now 11 games below .500 in contests decided by one or two runs. <\/p>\n

First baseman Cole Cummings led off the second inning with a home run pulled over the right-field wall to give the TinCaps (14-18, 41-57) an early lead. But the Cubs (22-10, 56-42), who lead the Midwest League West Division’s second-half standings, responded with a pair of runs in the third and an insurance score in the sixth. <\/p>\n

Next Game: Friday, Aug. 5 vs. South Bend (7:05 p.m.)<\/p>\n
