TinCaps Can’t Complete Sweep at Clinton<\/strong>
\nGettys Drives in a Pair with Two Hits<\/em><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

CLINTON, Iowa (May 4, 2016) – The TinCaps were unable to finish off a three-game sweep of the Clinton LumberKings on Wednesday afternoon at Ashford University Field, falling 5-4.<\/p>\n

Fort Wayne (15-12) raced out to leads of 3-0 and 4-3, but didn’t score after the second inning.<\/p>\n

Center fielder Michael Gettys gave the TinCaps a lead two batters into the game as he doubled to right-center field to score shortstop Ruddy Giron, who led the day off with a single. After first baseman Ty France walked, catcher Austin Allen singled to plate Gettys. Third baseman Carlos Belen immediately followed with an RBI single of his own to make it 3-0.<\/p>\n

Clinton (16-10), however, equalized with a three-run first of its own. Only one of the runs was earned.
\nGettys put Fort Wayne back in front, 4-3, in the second with a single that brought in left fielder Rod Boykin, who started the frame with a base hit.<\/p>\n

Nick Monroe (L, 1-1) replaced Austin Smith in the fourth inning and allowed a pair of runs in the fourth. J.C. Cosme kept the LumberKings off the board in the sixth, seventh, and eighth.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Matt Walker (W, 1-0) came on for Art Warren in the fifth. Walker threw 1 1\/3 scoreless innings. Four Clinton relievers teamed for five innings of one-hit, shutout ball. Vinny Nittoli (S, 2) pitched a perfect ninth.<\/p>\n
