Doersching Homers, But Lugnuts Pull Away Late<\/strong>
\nBy Jack Gordon<\/em><\/p>\n

Fort Wayne, Indiana (July 1, 2024) \u2013 TinCaps first baseman Griffin Doersching went deep, but the solo homer was Fort Wayne’s only run in a 7-1 loss to the Lansing Lugnuts (Oakland A’s affiliate) at Jackson Field on Monday night.<\/p>\n

Lansing (3-7, 35-40) got on the board first in the third inning with unearned run driven in by former TinCaps shortstop Euribiel \u00c1ngeles. The Lugnuts tacked on two more in the fourth to go ahead 3-0.<\/p>\n

Fort Wayne (3-7, 31-45) scored its lone run when Doersching hit his team-leading ninth home run of the season 375 feet over the left-field wall. Doersching now sits eighth in the Midwest League in homers.<\/p>\n

In the seventh and eighth innings, Lansing pulled ahead, scoring four unanswered runs.<\/p>\n

The TinCaps didn’t have trouble putting runners on base tonight. The ‘Caps had nine hits but stranded 10 runners and went 1-for-8 with runners in scoring position.<\/p>\n

Doersching and center fielder Homer Bush Jr. (No. 8 Padres prospect) both had two hits, including a double. Right fielder Kai Murphy reached base twice with a pair of walks.<\/p>\n

On the bump, ‘Caps starter Fernando Sanchez pitched three innings without allowing an earned run and struck out five.<\/p>\n
