TinCaps Stay Hot, Win Again<\/strong><\/p>\n

South Bend, Indiana (May 7, 2025) \u2014 The TinCaps have won eight of their last nine games after Wednesday afternoon’s 8-4 victory over the South Bend Cubs at Four Winds Field.<\/p>\n

Left fielder Jacob Campbell led a 14-hit attack for the team with a 5-for-5 performance at the plate, finishing just a home run shy of the cycle as he drove in two runs and scored three. Campbell, batting sixth in the order, became the second TinCap to record five hits in a game over the squad’s last 14 contests, following shortstop Leo De Vries (No. 1 Padres prospect) on April 22. Prior to De Vries, the TinCaps hadn’t had a five-hit game since Xavier Edwards (currently with the Miami Marlins) in 2019.<\/p>\n

Second baseman Nerwilian Cede\u00f1o, De Vries, and designated hitter Jack Costello each had two hits at the top of the order as well. De Vries extended his on-base streak to 13 games and hitting streak to seven.<\/p>\n

Fort Wayne (17-12) jumped out to a 4-0 lead with one run in the first, two in the second, and one in the third. South Bend started Kohl Franklin, who pitched for Triple-A Iowa last year prior to an injury and is rehabbing. Franklin went the first two innings.<\/p>\n

TinCaps starter Clark Candiotti (No. 26 Padres prospect) held the Cubs to one run over five innings as he struck out six.<\/p>\n

The ‘Caps added another run in the sixth, one in the seventh, and a pair in the eight to expanded their lead to 8-1. The Cubs made things interesting with a run in their half of the eighth and two in the ninth, but with the bases loaded, reliever Xavier Ruiz ultimately shut the door.<\/p>\n

Catcher Addison Kopack was in the mix offensively for Fort Wayne as well with a double and a pair of RBIs.<\/p>\n
