Game recap from the Fort Wayne TinCaps:<\/p>\n

TinCaps Take No-Hitter Into the Ninth, Match Season-Long Winning Streak<\/strong>
\nBy Evan Stockton<\/em><\/p>\n

Fort Wayne, Indiana (August 4, 2019) \u2013 The TinCaps fell just short of the third no-hitter in franchise history, yet still recorded the fourth nine-inning one-hitter in franchise history on their way to an 8-0 win over the West Michigan Whitecaps (Detroit Tigers affiliate) on a mid-80s and sunny afternoon at Parkview Field.<\/p>\n

The game was a classic pitcher\u2019s duel until the bottom of the seventh inning, when the \u2018Caps busted a 1-0 game wide open with seven runs in the frame. Justin Lopez smacked his team-leading 10th home run of the season leading off the inning and the fun just kept on coming, as four hits and four walks ballooned the lead.<\/p>\n

Ethan Skender contributed an RBI double in the seventh, and Dwanya Williams-Sutton helped extend his on-base streak to 22 games with a two-run single. The outfielder was also plunked by a pitch twice in the game, upping his total to 24 on the season (a new Fort Wayne franchise record).<\/p>\n

Despite all the offense, Sunday\u2019s game will be remembered for the stellar pitching. Joey Cantillo (6.0 IP, 0 H, 7 K\u2019s), Sam Keating (1.0 IP, 0 H, 1 K) and Jose Quezada (2.0 IP, 1 H, 5 K\u2019s) combined to toss a nine-inning shutout with 13 strikeouts and just one hit allowed. The TinCaps took the no-hitter into the ninth inning, yet a leadoff single in the ninth spoiled what could have been a historic afternoon.<\/p>\n

The win makes four in a row for Fort Wayne, equaling the longest win streak of the season. The TinCaps have also won four home games in a row and eight of their last 11 games at Parkview Field (dating back to July 17th).<\/p>\n
