FORT WAYNE – While fans attending Saturday’s High-A Central contest at Parkview Field were treated to postgame fireworks, the Fort Wayne TinCaps provided some early explosions of their own, riding a two-run home run in each of the first two innings before holding on for a 5-4 victory over the Lake County Captains.
“The way we’ve been playing, I think it’s huge,” TinCaps manager Anthony Contreras said. “We want to score early, it gives us a bit of a cushion. It’s extremely important to gain a little confidence.”
