(April 15, 2016) \u00e2\u20ac\u201d The TinCaps continued their home cooking of opponents this season with a 10-3 win over South Bend on Friday night at Parkview Field.<\/p>\n

Fort Wayne (6-3) won its third consecutive game and improved to 4-0 at home, toppling the Cubs (4-4) in the second matchup of the four-game series.<\/p>\n

The TinCaps struck first with a pair of runs in the second inning, exploded for a five-run fifth and tacked on three more in the seventh.<\/p>\n

Shortstop Peter Van Gansen (2-for-4, one run, one RBI), center fielder Michael Gettys (2-for-5, one run, one double, one RBI), catcher Austin Allen (2-for-4, two runs, one RBI, one walk) and right fielder Luis Tejada (2-for-3, three runs, one double, two RBI) all recorded multi-hit nights.<\/p>\n

Fort Wayne starter Jacob Nix tossed three innings of one-run ball and allowed just two hits, while lefty Logan Allen followed with three one-run innings of his own to go along with four strikeouts. Southpaw Will Headean worked the final three frames and surrendered just one run.<\/p>\n

Second baseman Daniel Bravo, who was just added to the roster earlier Friday, started the scoring with a two-run single in his first at-bat in the second inning. Gettys supplied an RBI double in the fifth, and designated hitter Kodie Tidwell unleashed a three-run double to right field later in the stanza.<\/p>\n

Tejada, who tallied four hits and five RBI in Thursday’s win, supplied a two-run double in the seventh, as the TinCaps rolled.<\/p>\n
