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

Casto\u00f1on Plates Pair in Setback<\/strong>
\nBy Derek Decker<\/em><\/p>\n

Fort Wayne, Indiana (April 26, 2023) \u2013 TinCaps starting pitcher Garrett Hawkins tallied a season-high five strikeouts in his four-inning start, but the Great Lakes Loons (Los Angeles Dodgers affiliate) homered twice late to secure a 5-2 win on a cool Wednesday night at Parkview Field.<\/p>\n

TinCaps third baseman Marcos Casta\u00f1on was responsible for both RBIs Wednesday, notching the first on a sacrifice fly in the fifth and the other in the seventh on a two-out single.<\/p>\n

Fort Wayne center fielder Jakob Marsee reached three times in the contest, two of which came on walks. Marsee leads the TinCaps and is in the top five in the Midwest League in walks drawn.<\/p>\n

Great Lakes scored first on a ground ball from right fielder Ismael Alcantara in the fourth. Fort Wayne got that run back in the bottom of the fifth with Casta\u00f1on\u2019s sac fly, scoring right fielder Justin Farmer.<\/p>\n

The Loons regained the lead for good in the sixth with a bases loaded walk drawn by left fielder Luis Diaz. Later, in the seventh, Loons catcher Dalton Rushing hit a solo blast to extend the lead. Fort Wayne drew closer on Casta\u00f1on\u2019s RBI single in the bottom of the seventh, and the TinCaps trailed just 3-2.<\/p>\n

But Diaz\u2019s two-run bomb in the top of the eighth created enough separation for Great Lakes to grab the second game of a six-game set.<\/p>\n
