TinCaps Begin Homestand With Resounding Victory<\/strong>
\nBy Evan Stockton<\/em><\/p>\n

Fort Wayne, Indiana (May `16, 2019) \u2013 The TinCaps began their season-long, eight-game homestand with a dominating 9-0 victory over the Lansing Lugnuts (Toronto Blue Jays) at Parkview Field on Thursday night. The game was called after six innings due to a gigantic thunderstorm that rolled into the area in the seventh inning and made the field unplayable.<\/p>\n

The TinCaps (16-22) came out of the gates swinging, scoring three times in the second inning to grab an early 3-0 lead. Grant Little (single) and Blake Hunt (single) both reached with one out, advancing to third and second respectively on a Luis Almanzar groundout. Then, Nick Feight singled the opposite way to right field, scoring Little and moving Hunt to third. Feight took second on the throw, setting the stage for a Jawuan Harris two-run single into right field that scored Hunt and Feight. It was Harris\u2019 first RBI since May 1 (10-game span).<\/p>\n

Fort Wayne struck again with three more runs in the third inning. Tucupita Marcano doubled to lead off the inning and was promptly brought home by a Justin Lopez single. Dwanya Williams-Sutton then reached via a hit by pitch, but both Lopez and Williams-Sutton were stuck on the bases momentarily after a consecutive fly outs. Almanzar then cleared the bases with a two-run triple that eluded the diving Reggie Pruitt in center field and rolled all the way to the wall. It was Almanzar\u2019s first triple of the season.<\/p>\n

The \u2018Caps weren\u2019t content with six runs \u2013 they scored three more times in the sixth to make it a nine-run advantage. An RBI triple from Lopez and a two-run double from Little brought home Marcano, Lopez, and Williams-Sutton. Fort Wayne finished the game with five extra-base hits, the second straight game the TinCaps pounded out five extra-base hits.<\/p>\n

In the midst of all the offensive firepower, Joey Cantillo twirled possibly the best start of the season for the TinCaps. The 19-year-old from Hawaii faced the minimum 18 batters in his six innings of work, allowing just a lone single while recording six strikeouts. Cantillo set a new season-high with his six innings of work and threw just 18 balls amongst his 73 pitches.<\/p>\n
