Marsee Records Three Hits at West Michigan<\/strong>
\nBy Derek Decker<\/em><\/p>\n

Comstock Park, Michigan (April 7, 2023) \u2013 Jakob Marsee racked up three hits and Juan Zabala drove in a pair Friday afternoon, but West Michigan collected 10 hits and led wire-to-wire, taking down Fort Wayne, 8-2, at LMCU Ballpark.<\/p>\n

Marsee, the center fielder, now leads the team with four hits on the young season.<\/p>\n

Zabala, the catcher, had two hits in his first start of the year, including a two-run double in the fifth inning to draw the TinCaps within 5-2 at the time.<\/p>\n

First baseman Nathan Martorella also registered a double, which marked the first extra base hit for Fort Wayne.<\/p>\n

No. 7 Padres prospect Victor Lizarraga made his High-A debut for the TinCaps and surrendered five runs in 2 2\/3 innings pitched.<\/p>\n

In relief, Bobby Milacki, who was signed by San Diego during the offseason, tossed two innings of one-hit baseball to close out the last two frames for the TinCaps.<\/p>\n

Ethan Routzahn was efficient out of the bullpen too, throwing 25 strikes on 35 pitches after relieving Lizarraga. He allowed just one run and struck out two.<\/p>\n
