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

Mears Drives in Another Run Sunday Afternoon<\/strong><\/p>\n

Fort Wayne, Indiana (May 28, 2023) \u2013 TinCaps right fielder Joshua Mears (No. 14 Padres prospect) drove in a run for the seventh straight game, but Fort Wayne dropped the series finale, 2-1, against the Lansing Lugnuts (Oakland A’s affiliate) Sunday afternoon at Parkview Field.<\/p>\n

Despite the loss, the TinCaps won the middle four games of the series and have won 9 of their last 13 overall.<\/p>\n

Mears\u2019 RBI single accounted for the lone Fort Wayne run of the game. It came in the bottom of the fifth with two outs, when Mears hit a soft liner to score center fielder Jakob Marsee (No. 22 Padres prospect). That run made it a 2-1 game.<\/p>\n

Mears is the first TinCap to drive in a run in seven consecutive games since Dustin Peterson in 2014. Peterson has since played in the big leagues with the Braves and Tigers. <\/p>\n

Both Lansing runs came courtesy of center fielder Junior Perez. He ripped run-scoring singles in both the first and third frames.<\/p>\n

TinCaps starting pitcher Victor Lizarraga (No. 7 Padres prospect), who\u2019s the youngest player in the Midwest League, turned in four innings and allowed just two earned runs while fanning three.<\/p>\n

Relievers Ruben Galindo, Jos\u00e9 Geraldo, and Raul Brito each contributed scoreless outings out of the bullpen.<\/p>\n

Fort Wayne was just 1-for-6 with runners in scoring position in the contest.<\/p>\n

The TinCaps are in the midst of a 12-game homestand, which continues through next week.<\/p>\n
