(June 1, 2016) – After a week on the road, the TinCaps returned to Parkview Field with a 5-1 win over the South Bend Cubs on Tuesday night.<\/p>\n

Fort Wayne (27-25) right fielder Jhonatan Pe\u00c3\u00b1a broke a 1-1 tie in the bottom of the seventh inning with a bases-loaded single off reliever Casey Bloomquist (L, 3-2). Pe\u00c3\u00b1a’s hit scored third baseman Carlos Belen, who reached to begin the frame on a throwing error by South Bend’s shortstop Bryant Flete. Bloomquist then walked designated hitter Nick Vilter and shortstop Ruddy Giron to load the bases.<\/p>\n

The TinCaps added two more runs in the seventh as left fielder Kodie Tidwell grounded into a double play that brought Vilter in to make it 3-1. With two outs, second baseman Peter Van Gansen lined a single off Bloomquist, his former teammate at Cal Poly, to plate Giron.<\/p>\n

In the eighth, Giron hit a two-out triple to score Vilter, who had singled, and cushion the advantage to 5-1.
\nTidwell started the scoring for Fort Wayne in the fourth inning with a solo home run to left-center field off Cubs left-handed starter Kyle Twomey. That tied the game, 1-1.<\/p>\n

South Bend (31-19) took a 1-0 lead in the second on an unearned run.<\/p>\n

TinCaps starter Thomas Dorminy went the first five innings with just the one unearned run allowed. Dorminy struck out three and didn’t walk a batter. Jerry Keel (W, 2-4) followed with two scoreless frames. Phil Maton (S, 1) then electrified in the eighth and ninth, striking out five.<\/p>\n

Tidwell’s homer extended his hitting streak to 11 games. That’s tied with catcher Austin Allen for the longest such streak of the season. Tidwell is 16-for-48 (.333) over the stretch with with two homers, a triple, five doubles, six runs, six RBIs, and four stolen bases.<\/p>\n

Pe\u00c3\u00b1a now has nine RBIs over the last seven games after he had three in his first 27 games of the year.<\/p>\n
