Game recap from the TinCaps.<\/p>\n

Hoffman Has A Night, But Fort Wayne Falters Late<\/strong><\/p>\n

Peoria, Illinois (August 23, 2024) \u2013 Wyatt Hoffman homered and hit an RBI double, but the TinCaps lost to the Peoria Chiefs (Cardinals affiliate), 6-4, Friday night at Dozer Park.<\/p>\n

Peoria (28-24, 54-63) scored four runs in the bottom of the seventh to erase what was a 4-2 Fort Wayne (17-35, 45-73) lead.<\/p>\n

Hoffman initially gave the ‘Caps a 1-0 lead in the second with his double that brought in second baseman Nerwilian Cede\u00f1o, who had a three-hit game himself that included a double.<\/p>\n

The Chiefs tied the game in the third and went ahead, 2-1, with a tally in the fifth.<\/p>\n

The third baseman, Hoffman, knocked his first High-A homer in the sixth, a two-run go-ahead shot that plated first baseman Devin Ortiz, who had doubled.<\/p>\n

Catcher Ethan Salas (No. 1 Padres prospect) singled in center fielder Tyler Robertson in the top of the seventh to increase the TinCaps’ advantage to 4-2. The 18-year-old Salas has reached base in a season-long 16 consecutive games. Like Cede\u00f1o, Robertson also recorded three hits on the night.<\/p>\n

Right fielder Kai Murphy singled, too, as Fort Wayne held an 11-8 edge in hits.<\/p>\n

Starting pitcher Jagger Haynes (No. 21 Padres prospect) turned in his team-leading 10th quality start of the season. The left-hander worked six innings with seven strikeouts with only one walk and four hits allowed.<\/p>\n
