The TinCaps Pull Off Miraculous Comeback in Series Opener<\/strong><\/p>\n

Fort Wayne, Indiana (July 21, 2026) \u2013 The Fort Wayne TinCaps came back down 6-0 to defeat the Lake County Captains (Guardians affiliate) 7-6 in Tuesday night\u2019s series opener at Parkview Field.<\/p>\n

Fort Wayne (38-52, 11-13) sealed the deal by driving in the final two runs with two outs in the ninth. Center fielder Ryan Wideman (No. 7 Padres prospect) brought home Zach Evans on an RBI single to tie the game. Left fielder Alex McCoy (No. 19 Padres prospect) capped off his two-hit evening by driving Wideman home on a base hit to end the contest.<\/p>\n

McCoy collected his Midwest League-leading 24th double in the sixth inning and still leads Fort Wayne with 23 multi-hit showings in 2026. First baseman Jack Costello sparked the comeback with a solo homer in the seventh, his 11th of the season. Costello\u2019s 21st career long ball in a TinCap uniform moves him into ninth all-time in franchise history, tying Fernando Tatis Jr. The 25-year-old drove in his second run of the night on a single one inning later.<\/p>\n

Tuesday marked the sixth walk-off win for the TinCaps this season and the second against the Captains. The other came on June 2 on an RBI single off the bat of Justin DeCriscio in a 6-5 comeback win. It is the second-largest comeback win of the year for Fort Wayne, with 26 of their 38 victories in 2026 being in come-from-behind fashion.<\/p>\n

Lake County (50-37, 13-10) got 4 \u2153 scoreless innings from left-hander Harrison Bodendorf in his High-A debut. The 22-year-old punched out five and allowed two hits after posting a 2.35 ERA with Single-A Hill City in seven appearances to begin the campaign.<\/p>\n

Right fielder Juneiker Caceres (MLB No, 97\/Guardians No. 6 prospect) posted his first multi-hit showing in High-A in the loss. Caceres went 3-for-5 with an RBI groundout and a leadoff triple in the fifth frame.<\/p>\n
