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

TinCaps Close Trip with Emphatic Win<\/strong><\/p>\n

Lansing, Michigan (August 13, 2023) – The TinCaps lambasted the Lansing Lugnuts (Oakland A’s affiliate), 11-6, on Sunday afternoon at Jackson Field. With the win, Fort Wayne earned a split of the six-game road series. The ‘Caps tied a season high for hits with 17, as all nine batters in the order tallied at least one knock.<\/p>\n

Fort Wayne (23-19, 55-53) overcame an early 3-0 deficit thanks to a six-run third inning.<\/p>\n

Lansing (17-25, 48-59) had taken the quick lead with two outs in the first on a three-run homer by right fielder Colby Thomas (No. 19 A’s prospect).<\/p>\n

Center fielder Jakob Marsee (No. 12 Padres prospect) got the TinCaps on the scoreboard in third with an RBI single. He finished with three hits and a walk. Marsee leads the Midwest League in on-base percentage (.412). That mark is currently the third highest in a season in Fort Wayne’s 30-year franchise history. (Jaff Decker posted a .442 OBP at the Single-A level in 2009 as a budding big leaguer.)<\/p>\n

Shortstop Nerwilian Cede\u00f1o (No. 27 Padres prospect), left fielder Graham Pauley (No. 11 Padres prospect), third baseman Lucas Dunn, and designated hitter Carlos Luis also added run-scoring hits in that frame.<\/p>\n

First baseman Nathan Martorella (No. 10 Padres prospect) joined the act in the fourth with a two-out RBI double that made it 7-3.<\/p>\n

The ‘Caps tacked on three more in the sixth as Martorella drew a bases-loaded walk and Dunn provided a two-run single. Like Marsee, he totaled three hits.<\/p>\n

While the Lugnuts scored a run in the sixth, the TinCaps got it back in the eighth on another Pauley RBI single to go up, 11-4. Lansing plated a pair in the ninth for naught.<\/p>\n

Fort Wayne previously recorded 17 hits in their win on April 15 against Lake County.<\/p>\n

On a Johnny Wholestaff day, Carter Loewen earned the win on the mound, throwing a career-long 3 1\/3 innings with no earned runs.<\/p>\n

The TinCaps trail the West Michigan Whitecaps (Detroit Tigers affiliate) by a half game in the East Division’s second-half standings.<\/p>\n
