Hunt Homers, But Fort Wayne Drops the Series Finale<\/strong><\/p>\n

Fort Wayne, Indiana (April 24, 2019) \u2013 The TinCaps fell in the final game of their three-game series with the Bowling Green Hot Rods (Tampa Bay Rays) on Wednesday, 9-2. It was the first sellout of the 2019 season at Parkview Field, as 7,125 fans packed the park.<\/p>\n

Bowling Green (11-9) scored the game\u2019s first three runs, plating a single run in the third and two more runs in the fourth. The Hot Rods\u2019 run in the third came by way of a Ford Proctor RBI single, while the runs in the fourth came via a Kaleo Johnson home run and an RBI triple by Jake Palomaki.<\/p>\n

The TinCaps (10-9) got one back emphatically in the fourth, when Blake Hunt crushed a home run to left field to make it 3-1. The California native\u2019s homer (his second of the season) traveled 368 feet in the air and with an exit velocity of 102 miles per hour.<\/p>\n

The Hot Rods answered back in the fifth with a booming home run of their own, as Kaleo Johnson hit a three-run blast that landed at the base of The Harrison building well beyond the left-field fence. Johnson\u2019s drive soared 412 feet in the air and with an exit velocity of 108 miles per hour.<\/p>\n

Bowling Green added two more in the sixth on a Wander Franco sacrifice fly and a Chris Betts RBI single. The Hot Rods final run came via a Franco home run that curled fair around the right field foul pole in the eighth.<\/p>\n

Fort Wayne\u2019s final run came in the ninth. Justin Lopez and Agustin Ruiz singled with one out, advanced to third and second respectively on groundout, and Lopez scored on a wild pitch.<\/p>\n
