\nBy Evan Stockton<\/em><\/p>\n

Fort Wayne, Indiana (August 30, 2019) \u2013 Despite racking up 10 hits, the TinCaps fell to the South Bend Cubs (Chicago Cubs affiliate), 6-4, on Friday night at Parkview Field.<\/p>\n

The TinCaps (28-39, 61-74) struck first when Tucupita Marcano doubled leading off the bottom of the first inning and later came home to score on a Michael Curry RBI groundout. Marcano added three singles later in the game, his team-leading 37th multi-hit game of the season. He also is the first TinCap with three four-hit games during the 2019 season.<\/p>\n

Ryan Weathers made his final start of the season, allowing three runs in five innings with four strikeouts. Weathers didn\u2019t walk anyone \u2013 he issued just 18 walks in 96 innings during the 2019 season, a rate that ranked in the top five among Midwest League starters who tossed at least 90 innings.<\/p>\n

The \u2019Caps crept closer with a run in the fifth on another Curry RBI groundout, but the Cubs (37-29, 74-60) put the game away with three more runs in the seventh via a Nelson Maldonado three-run triple down the right-field line.<\/p>\n

The TinCaps refused to quit, scoring single runs in the seventh and eighth innings on a Justin Lopez RBI single and a Ripken Reyes sacrifice fly, respectively. Yet, Fort Wayne couldn\u2019t quite finish the job: the TinCaps left 11 runners on base in the game, including eight combined between the final five innings. Fort Wayne was 1-for-12 with runners in scoring position.<\/p>\n

Shortly after the game went final, the Lansing Lugnuts lost to the West Michigan Whitecaps in Michigan\u2019s capital city. As a result, South Bend clinched a Midwest League Eastern Division playoff berth.<\/p>\n
