Fort Wayne Walked Off For Second Night in a Row<\/strong>

Peoria, Illinois (August 22, 2024) \u2013 After overcoming an early three-run deficit to take an eighth-inning lead, the TinCaps eventually fell to the Peoria Chiefs (St. Louis Cardinals affiliate), 6-4, in 10 innings on Thursday night at Dozer Park.<\/p>\n

Fort Wayne (17-34, 45-72) trailed 3-0 heading into the fourth inning, but quickly bounced back. To start the fourth, Rosman Verdugo (No. 17 Padres prospect) led off with a single, and Ethan Salas (No. 1 Padres prospect) doubled right after. Salas went 2-for-5, extending his on-base streak to a career-high 15 games. In that stretch, he leads the Midwest League with nine doubles. Right after the pair of base hits, Devin Ortiz hit a sacrifice fly to score Verdugo and put the ‘Caps on the board. Later in the inning, Tyler Robertson knocked Salas in with an RBI single to make it 3-2. <\/p>\n

Both teams went silent until the eighth when Fort Wayne tacked on two more. Another RBI single from Robertson and one from Colton Bender gave the TinCaps a 4-3 lead. <\/p>\n

In the bottom of the eighth, Chiefs designated hitter Darlin Moquete scored on a sacrifice fly from center fielder Won-Bin Cho to tie the game 4-4. <\/p>\n

In the top of the 10th, Fort Wayne loaded up the bases with nobody out but couldn’t put a run across. In the bottom half, Peoria catcher Leonardo Bernal hit a two-run walk-off homer to win it 6-4. <\/p>\n

The TinCaps have played 17 extra-inning games, the most in all of Minor League Baseball. <\/p>\n
