Following the 48-hour wait, the TinCaps fell behind 4-0 in the top of the first inning.<\/p>\n

Fort Wayne (1-4) cut the deficit in half in the second thanks to an RBI double by right fielder Kai Murphy and a Salas walk with the bases loaded. The ‘Caps then equalized in the third as center fielder Tyler Robertson hit an RBI double and shortstop Jarryd Dale added an RBI single.<\/p>\n

Lake County (4-1) scored thrice with two outs in the sixth.<\/p>\n

Again, the TinCaps battled back. First baseman Griffin Doersching knocked a run-scoring single in the sixth and Dale delivered another RBI hit in the seventh.<\/p>\n

However, the home team finished 4-for-18 with runners in scoring position and left 14 on base. The Captains were 4-for-9 in those situations.<\/p>\n
