TinCaps drop another close game
DYLAN SINN | The Journal Gazette
The TinCaps don t have a lot of answers right now.
One night after finally snapping a seven-game losing streak, a milestone that made it seem as though they could start to build some positive momentum, Fort Wayne struck out 14 times, went 0 for 4 with runners in scoring position and saw its final six hitters retired in order in a 3-1 loss to the Lake County Captains at Parkview Field that was its eighth defeat in nine games.
It was the continuation of a trend that has lasted all homestand: the TinCaps are 2-5 in the last two weeks in games decided by two or fewer runs. Manager Anthony Contreras couldn t pinpoint a reason for the string of close defeats and pitcher Matt Waldron, who took a hard-luck loss after an outstanding start tonight, was unable to provide much insight, either.

TinCaps beat Lake County, 5-4, snap losing streak
DYLAN SINN | The Journal Gazette
The TinCaps snapped a seven-game losing streak with a 5-4 win over the Lake County Captains at Parkview Field tonight behind a good start from Ethan Elliott and an outstanding performance from Tirso Ornelas at the plate.
How it Happened
Sometimes, to break a losing streak, a team needs a little luck. Fort Wayne got that in the seventh inning tonight. The game was deadlocked at 4 entering the bottom of the seventh and the TinCaps got a rally started the same way they ve put runners on so often in recent weeks: with a walk. It was Chris Givin that drew the free pass, his fifth walk in three games with Fort Wayne since coming down from Double-A San Antonio. Ornelas followed and swung at the first pitch, grounding a single through the right side to put two on.
