De Vries Extends Streaks, But Cubs Win<\/strong><\/p>\n

South Bend, Indiana (May 8, 2025) \u2014 Shortstop Leo De Vries extended his on-base and hitting streaks, but the South Bend Cubs topped the TinCaps, 3-1, on Thursday night at Four Winds Field. The game took just 1 hour and 49 minutes, making it Fort Wayne’s quickest nine-inning game since 2013.<\/p>\n

Fort Wayne (17-13) took a 1-0 lead in the top of the fourth inning as third baseman Rosman Verdugo (No. 24 Padres prospect) doubled De Vries (No. 1 Padres prospect) in from first base. With his single, De Vries stretched his on-base streak to 14 games and his hitting streak to seven games. Verudgo finished with two hits, as did catcher Brendan Durfee.<\/p>\n

However, South Bend (8-22) equalized in the fifth, took the lead in the sixth, and added insurance in the seventh.<\/p>\n

The ‘Caps were limited by Jaxon Wiggins (No. 10 Cubs prospect), who worked seven innings. Fort Wayne finished with five hits and no walks.<\/p>\n

Jose Reyes had a quality start for the TinCaps himself, tossing six innings. Tyson Neighbors (No. 15 Padres prospect) struck out three batters over two innings of relief.<\/p>\n

The last time the ‘Caps played a sub 1:50 game was May 5, 2013 at Peoria, when Fort Wayne lost 1-0 in 1 hour and 47 minutes.<\/p>\n
