Fort Wayne, Indiana (June 4, 2024) – The Fort Wayne TinCaps dropped a game that required 10 innings, as they lost 6-5 to the Peoria Chiefs (Cardinals affiliate). The TinCaps played their Minor League Baseball-leading 11nth extra-inning game in front of 3,644 fans at Parkview Field.<\/p>\n

Fort Wayne (23-29) started the game hot, as center fielder Homer Bush Jr. (No. 8 Padres prospect) led the bottom of the first off with his first High-A home run. The long ball became a common occurrence tonight with four different players going deep. The game stayed at 1-0 until the fourth inning when Peoria (17-35) scored three runs in the top half of the inning. First baseman Lucas Dunn responded in the fifth however, with the second solo homer of the game for the TinCaps.<\/p>\n

With the game staying put, the two teams stayed close into the seventh, when a Chiefs single plated two runners to add to Peoria\u2019s lead. The \u2018Caps responded in the eighth with catcher Ethan Salas (No. 1 Padres prospect) picking up a single, and third baseman Devin Ortiz walking. Left fielder Tyler Robertson followed with a two-run double to bring Fort Wayne within a run. A bit of TinCaps heroics happened in the bottom of the ninth as designated hitter Griffin Doersching launched a deep fly ball to left to tie the game up, 5-5.<\/p>\n

In extras, Peoria was able to score the automatic runner on a sac fly, while the TinCaps failed to score. Right fielder Kai Murphy bunted Ortiz over to third, before Ortiz became the second TinCap thrown out at home in the game.<\/p>\n

Enmanuel Pinales turned in six quality innings of work tonight, allowing three runs on six hits, while limiting his walk total to a single free pass.<\/p>\n

Fort Wayne also leads the High-A level in one-run games played. The ‘Caps are 9-11 in such games.<\/p>\n
