Fort Wayne Walks Off Great Lakes in All-Time Classic<\/strong><\/p>\n

Fort Wayne, Indiana (July 5, 2026) \u2013 The Fort Wayne TinCaps walked off the Great Lakes Loons 13-12 in 14 innings at Parkview Field on Friday night.<\/p>\n

Fort Wayne (34-46, 7-7) ended the contest at 4 hours and 48 minutes when Kasen Wells drove in the 25th and final run of the ball game with a base hit to right field. The Caps and Loons matched each other toe-to-toe in extra innings. The biggest swing of the night for Fort Wayne outside of the Wells game-winner was a pinch-hit two-run homer from Kerrington Cross to tie the game at 11 in the 13th frame.<\/p>\n

First baseman Jack Costello got the TinCaps on the board back in the first inning on a solo homer, his second in as many days. Designated hitter Luke Cantwell followed suit an inning later with a two-run blast, his first at Parkview Field.<\/p>\n

Right fielder Kavares Tears (No. 26 Padres prospect) launched a game-tying two-run homer of his own in the eighth inning. Tears has left the yard three times this series, having the fourth multi-homer game by a TinCap this season on Wednesday night. Center fielder Ryan Wideman (No. 7 Padres prospect) went 3-for-6 with a walk in his first multi-hit game in High-A.<\/p>\n

Great Lakes (45-32, 9-4) had their biggest swing of the night from right fielder Jose Meza in the 13th inning. His two-run blast gave the Loons their final lead of the game and capped off a 5-for-7 night for him at the plate. Meza finished a triple shy of the cycle in the first five-hit game of his professional career.<\/p>\n

Catcher Victor Rodrigues collected his second multi-hit game of the series, going 3-for-4. Rodrigues drove in a run on each of his hits before being lifted in the 10th inning for a pinch runner.<\/p>\n
