Fort Wayne Fights But Falls Friday Night<\/strong><\/p>\n

Fort Wayne, Indiana (April 26, 2024) – On Hispanic Heritage Night at Parkview Field, the TinCaps, playing as the Manzanas Luchadoras (“Fighting Apples”), showed the fighting spirit of a luchador, but fell to the Pepinillos Picantes del Norte (“Spicy Pickles of the North”), 5-3, Friday.<\/p>\n

The game was delayed 1 hour and 11 minutes by rain. Once it got underway, the visitors struck quickly. The Dodgers-affiliated Great Lakes Loons (12-7), the team from the North, scored four runs in the top of the first inning. <\/p>\n

After that, Fort Wayne (8-10) starter Henry Baez didn’t allow a hit or walk as he struck out a season-high eight batters. <\/p>\n

The home side got a run back in the fifth as first baseman Griffin Doersching drew a walk with the bases loaded. <\/p>\n

Great Lakes, however, extended its lead back to four with a run in the sixth. <\/p>\n

Fort Wayne made it 5-3 in the seventh as Doersching delivered a two-run single. <\/p>\n

But ultimately, Fort Wayne went 1-for-13 with runners in scoring position and left 11 on base, while also having two runners caught stealing. <\/p>\n

Designated hitter Ethan Salas (No. 1 Padres prospect) went 2-for-4 with a walk and a run. Center fielder Homer Bush Jr. (No. 11 Padres prospect) and right fielder Kai Murphy also had two hits each. <\/p>\n
