Back-to-Back Three-Run Innings Propel ‘Caps to Win<\/strong><\/p>\n

Fort Wayne, Indiana (July 11, 2025) \u2013 In front of a crowd of over 7,000, the Fort Wayne TinCaps evened up the series against the Quad Cities River Bandits (Royals affiliate), winning 8-6.<\/p>\n

Shortstop Brandon Butterworth had his team-leading fifth three-hit and 19th multi-hit performance of the season. The NC State graduate lined a pair of singles before his Midwest League-leading seventh triple to straight away center in the eighth.<\/p>\n

In his last 20 games, Butterworth is hitting .300 with 11 extra base hits (4 3B, 3 3B, 4 HR), which is third in the league.<\/p>\n

The ‘Caps (11-8, 42-42) put together their 19th come-from-behind win this season after No. 2 Royals prospect Blake Mitchell launched his first High-A home run, a two-run shot two batters in.<\/p>\n

Catcher Brendan Durfee evened things up with his second home run in the last week. The two-run blast in the fourth inning came off the bat at 109 mph, going 388 feet. Durfee later lined a 104 mph RBI single in the eighth.<\/p>\n

TinCaps starting pitcher Isaiah Lowe (No. 10 Padres prospect) bounced back after a tough first frame. Helped out by a pair of double plays, Lowe struck out four, leaving five runners on in five innings.<\/p>\n

In the seventh, outfielder Braedon Karpathios launched his team-leading 11th home run of the season before Kaden Hollow smacked a two-run shot to right field, his first at the High-A level.<\/p>\n

In the eighth, Fort Wayne plated three more runs on four hits, capped off by a two-run double by Karpathios.<\/p>\n

Quad Cities (11-7, 50-34) kept things close in the ninth, scoring three runs and bringing the tying runner to the plate before Ruben Galindo shut the door.<\/p>\n
