Game recap from the Fort Wayne TinCaps:<\/p>\n

Winning Streak Ends at 7 on Wizards Night with Sellout Crowd<\/p>\n

Fort Wayne, Ind. \u2013 Parkview Field had the vibes of the old Memorial Stadium on Thursday night. But even with a sellout crowd of 6,856 fans celebrating Fort Wayne Wizards Throwback Night, the TinCaps’ seven-game winning streak was snapped in an 8-2 loss to the Lansing Lugnuts (A’s affiliate).<\/p>\n

Fort Wayne (19-23) took a 1-0 lead in the first inning as catcher Ethan Salas (No. 1 Padres prospect) scored from third base on a wild pitch. Salas had reached with a single hit 100 MPH off Luis Morales (No. 2 A’s prospect) to center field, and stole his fifth base of the season to reach second. A prior wild pitch advanced him to third. He singled again in the eighth. Salas is now on a six-game hitting streak.<\/p>\n

However, Lansing (21-21) put up three runs in the fourth, two in the sixth, two more in the seventh, and one in the eighth.<\/p>\n

The ‘Caps, who wore Wizards jerseys and hats (that are being auctioned on TinCaps.com\/auction through May 26), could only respond with a solo home run by Tyler Robertson in the ninth. Robertson has homered in consecutive games and is tied for the team lead on the season with four.<\/p>\n

Parkview Field has now been sold out for four of the last six TinCaps games during this homestand.<\/p>\n

Fort Wayne’s seven-game winning streak was the club’s longest since 2015.<\/p>\n
