West Michigan Whitecaps 5, TinCaps 2<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

COMSTOCK PARK, Mich. (May 12, 2016) – The TinCaps fell to the West Michigan Whitecaps, 5-2, in the opener of their four-game series at Fifth Third Ballpark.<\/p>\n

West Michigan (18-16) raced out to a 3-0 lead in the home first inning, and that was too much for Fort Wayne (16-15) to overcome. The Whitecaps managed a pair of two-out runs against Logan Allen (L, 2-2) in that frame.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, West Michigan starter Matt Hall (W, 4-0) kept the TinCaps off the board over the first five innings and struck out eight. Against the Whitecaps bullpen, Fort Wayne finally scored a pair in the top of the sixth. First baseman Brad Zunica and center fielder Michael Gettys both delivered RBI singles.<\/p>\n

However, an error in the seventh, and another in the eighth, allowed West Michigan to put up two unearned runs.
\nGerson Moreno (S, 4), featuring a fastball in the high 90s, shut the door in the ninth as he faced the minimum.
\nThe TinCaps have dropped three consecutive games.<\/p>\n
