Comstock Park, Michigan (June 23, 2022) \u2013 After a win Tuesday, the Fort Wayne TinCaps lost, 14-4, to the West Michigan Whitecaps (Detroit Tigers affiliate) on Wednesday night at LMCU Ballpark.<\/p>\n

Newly acquired Cole Cummings led Fort Wayne offensively for the second straight night. Cummings, who debuted at the High-A level on Tuesday with three hits, picked up his fourth hit in the second inning with a looper to left field. Later in the frame, the DH swiped second base for his first stolen base with the TinCaps (1-4, 28-43).<\/p>\n

However, Fort Wayne trailed 4-0 after two innings.<\/p>\n

Nevertheless, Cummings came through again in the fourth. After Robert Hassell\u2019s leadoff single and Lucas Dunn\u2019s RBI triple made it 4-1, the 24-year-old delivered a sacrifice fly for his second RBI with the TinCaps. But after Fort Wayne pulled to within a run, West Michigan scored four more in the ensuing bottom of the fourth to make it 8-3.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Cummings, the Corona, California native, added another single in the fifth and was hit by a pitch in the seventh. Cummings was one of two hitters in the game with multiple base hits, and the only TinCap.<\/p>\n

Left fielder Daniel Cabrera led the Whitecaps (3-2, 34-37) with four hits, including a home run. Though hits were even at six apiece, this wound up being the most runs allowed by Fort Wayne in a game this season as West Michigan drew nine walks and benefitted from three hit-by-pitches, plus an error.
\nThough his nine-game hitting streak came to an end, TinCaps left fielder Corey Rosier was hit by a pitch, extending his on-base streak to 13 games.<\/p>\n
