With the win, the TinCaps split the series with the Hot Rods.<\/p>\n<p>Fort Wayne (17-20, 49-57) and Bowling Green (22-16, 69-38) were tied in the top of the ninth inning with two outs and runners at first and second when Fernandez cranked a 0-1 fastball over the wall in left field to plate three and put the TinCaps in front for good, 7-4.<\/p>\n<p>The TinCaps cracked a 23-inning scoring drought in the top of the first. Second baseman Kelvin Melean hit a ground-rule double to left-center field to score center fielder Jeisson Rosario from second and put the TinCaps ahead, 1-0.<\/p>\n<p>The Hot Rods responded with four unanswered runs during the first and second innings, headlined by a two-run home run by Taylor Walls to take a 4-1 lead.<\/p>\n<p>In the top of the fifth, Fort Wayne scored two runs off of an error and a wild pitch to cut the Bowling Green advantage down to 4-3.<\/p>\n<p>The TinCaps tied the game in the bottom of the seventh. Melean and Rosario were attempting a double steal when second baseman Vidal Brujan threw the ball into foul territory during a run down to send Rosario home and even the game at 4-4 to set up for the Fernandez home run in the top of the ninth.<\/p>\n<p>In the win, Melean went 4-for-5 with a double and an RBI to increase his batting average to .304 in 20 games with Fort Wayne. Also, reliever Travis Radke threw 2 1\/3 perfect innings out of the \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcpen to record the win.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h3>Related
