TinCaps Battle Back, Lose Late to Cubs, 5-4<\/strong>
\nFort Wayne Drops to 5-1 at Home

(April 17, 2016) – Although the TinCaps overcame a three-run deficit, the South Bend Cubs scored two late runs to win 5-4 Sunday afternoon at Parkview Field.<\/p>\n

Austin Allen smacked a pinch-hit two-run single to cap a four-run seventh inning, helping the TinCaps (7-4) recover from an early 3-0 deficit. Kodie Tidwell had an RBI single, and Michael Gettys scored on a Scott Effross throwing error following Rod Boykin’s infield single.<\/p>\n

However, Eloy Jimenez and Matt Rose each drove in a runner for the Cubs (5-5) to retake the lead during the top of the eighth.<\/p>\n

Fort Wayne threatened in its final opportunity, getting Tidwell and Allen on the corners with two outs before Peter Van Gansen struck out on a full-count pitch.<\/p>\n

TinCaps starter Walter Lockett threw six strong innings, but consecutive errors during the fourth frame led to three unearned runs. Elliot Ashbeck (L, 1-1) took the loss after surrendering a pair of runs over three innings pitched.<\/p>\n

Effross (W, 1-0) grabbed the victory in 1.2 innings of relief. Craig Brooks (S, 1) survived the ninth inning to end Fort Wayne’s four-game winning streak and blemish a 5-0 record at Parkview Field.<\/p>\n

The TinCaps went 3-for-10 with runners in scoring position and left 11 on base.<\/p>\n
