Fort Wayne Loses at Lake County to Close Trip<\/strong><\/p>\n

Eastlake, Ohio (July 3, 2019) \u2013 The TinCaps lost to the Lake County Captains, 3-2, on Wednesday night at Classic Park.<\/p>\n

The TinCaps (4-9, 37-44) scored first for the second straight, taking an 1-0 lead with a lone run in the top of the first. Tucupita Marcano led off the game with an opposite-field single into left field, moved to third on a Lee Solomon double, and scored on Agustin Ruiz\u2019s sacrifice fly. Marcano has hit safely in six consecutive games, going 11-for-25.<\/p>\n

Lake County (8-5, 48-34) scored an unearned run in the third inning to knot the game, 1-1. With runners on first and third and two outs, Ryan Weathers threw a strong pickoff throw that had the runner at first trapped between first and second, but a poor throw to second allowed the runner at third to come home and tie the game.<\/p>\n

The Captains took a 2-1 lead with another run in the fourth inning. Hosea Nelson smacked a one-out triple to the right-center field gap and came home on a two-out Makesiondon Kelkboom single.<\/p>\n

Lake County tacked on another run in the fifth inning, prompting the exit of Weathers after 4 2\/3 innings with the score 3-1. It was the former first-rounder\u2019s longest outing since returning from the Injured List on May 20. The lefty struck out four batters, to boot. One of the three runs against him was earned.<\/p>\n

The \u2018Caps crept closer in the eighth as Dwanya Williams-Sutton and Justin Lopez had back-to-back singles. Two batters later, catcher Juan Fernandez delivered an RBI single that made it 3-2. But outside of that hit, Fort Wayne went 0-for-9 with runners in scoring position and left 11 on base in the game.<\/p>\n
