Pe\u00c3\u00b1a Provides Another Big Hit in Road Win<\/strong>
\nCosme, Keel, and Wingenter Keep Captains in Check<\/em><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

EASTLAKE, Ohio (May 27, 2016) – The TinCaps won their second consecutive game on the road using a similar formula on Friday night. Fort Wayne vanquished the Lake County Captains, 3-2, at Classic Park, as right fielder Jhonatan Pe\u00c3\u00b1a provided what proved to be a game-winning extra-base hit.<\/p>\n

On Thursday in Lansing, Pe\u00c3\u00b1a hit a two-run homer in the ninth inning in a 5-3 victory. On Friday, Pe\u00c3\u00b1a broke a 1-1 tie in the top of the sixth with a two-run double to the left-field corner. The 22-year-old from the Dominican scored catcher Austin Allen, who had singled, and third baseman Nick Vilter, who drew a walk against Captains starter Tom Pannone (L, 3-4). Right-handed reliever Dominic DeMasi replaced Pannone to face Pe\u00c3\u00b1a.<\/p>\n

Fort Wayne (25-23) initially led 1-0 after Allen singled in shortstop Kodie Tidwell in the top of the first inning. Allen finished 3-for-4 – his second three-hit game in a row – while Tidwell extended his hitting streak to seven games, going 2-for-5, including a double to begin the game.<\/p>\n

Lake County (27-21) tied the game in the bottom of the third inning, but that was all the league’s second best offense could get against J.C. Cosme (W, 4-2). The righty who turned 20 on Tuesday went five innings and struck out five.<\/p>\n

Jerry Keel came on for Cosme in the sixth and tossed three scoreless frames. Trey Wingenter (S, 4) allowed back-to-back doubles to begin the bottom of the ninth but recovered with three consecutive outs for the save.<\/p>\n

Pe\u00c3\u00b1a had only 3 RBIs through his first 27 games this season. He now has seven over the last three days as he’s had two hits in three straight games.<\/p>\n
