TinCaps Win 4th in a Row<\/strong><\/p>\n

Fort Wayne, Indiana (May 1, 2025) \u2014 The TinCaps are on a season-best four-game winning streak after a come-from-behind 8-6 victory over the Dayton Dragons (Reds affiliate) at Parkview Field on Thursday night.<\/p>\n

Fort Wayne (13-11) trailed 6-5 entering the bottom of the eighth inning. Right fielder Braedon Karpathios tied the game with a single. Then third baseman Rosman Verdugo (No. 24 Padres prospect) knocked a go-ahead two-run double.<\/p>\n

Garrett Hawkins, who recorded the final out in the top of the eighth inning as he stranded two runners, recorded the final three outs in the ninth. The game ended in spectacular fashion. Dayton (8-16) had runners at first and second base when Victor Acosta sent a ball to shallow left-center field. TinCaps shortstop Leo De Vries (No. 1 Padres prospect) made a Sports Center Top 10 diving catch to seal the contest.<\/p>\n

Initially the ‘Caps led 2-0. Center fielder Nerwilian Cede\u00f1o hit a sacrifice fly in the first. First baseman Ethan Long hit a solo homer in the second.<\/p>\n

The Dragons got a run back in the fourth and plated three in the fifth. But the TinCaps answered in their half of the fifth as Jack Costello crushed a three-run homer to left-center field. Fort Wayne led 5-4 into the eighth before Dayton plated a pair to go in front, 6-5.<\/p>\n

Jose Reyes went the first five innings on the mound for the ‘Caps allowing only one earned run. Bodi Rascon, in his Fort Wayne season debut, pitched two perfect innings of relief before being charged with two runs in the eighth.<\/p>\n

At the plate, De Vries finished 1-for-2 with two walks. His 1.024 OPS continues to lead the Midwest League.<\/p>\n
