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

Mears Homers, But Loons Rally For Win<\/strong><\/p>\n

Fort Wayne, Indiana (April 27, 2023) \u2013 TinCaps right fielder Joshua Mears homered, but the Great Lakes Loons (Los Angeles Dodgers affiliate) stormed back late for a 6-4 victory on a pleasant Thursday night at Parkview Field.<\/p>\n

Fort Wayne also got a two-run double in the fourth inning by designated hitter Carlos Luis. The \u2018Caps scored all four of their runs in the fourth frame.<\/p>\n

Right-hander Victor Lizarraga, the No. 7 rated Padres prospect, turned in four strong innings in his start, striking out four. Reliever Ethan Routzahn chipped in two shutout innings out of the bullpen.<\/p>\n

Great Lakes didn\u2019t begin to cut into Fort Wayne\u2019s 4-0 lead until the top of the fifth, when third baseman Taylor Young blasted a two-run homer, trimming the deficit to two.<\/p>\n

The Loons inched closer on a wild pitch in the sixth, then took the lead for good in the eighth on a two-run double by shortstop Alex Freeland. Freeland would come around to score the final run on a ground ball later that same inning.<\/p>\n
