FORT WAYNE, Indiana (WDTN) – Fort Wayne’s Ethan Skender delivered a run-scoring double to break a 1-1 tie in the fourth inning and the TinCaps went on to a 7-3 victory over the Dayton Dragons on Friday night. The TinCaps have won three straight over the Dragons after Dayton won the series opener on Tuesday.
The Dragons collected just five hits in the game and have struggled to produce runs over the last two series. They have scored more than four runs in only one of their last nine games.
On Friday, the Dragons fell behind 1-0 in the third but rallied to tie the score in the fourth. Alex McGarry doubled to the fence in right-center field with one out, and Victor Ruiz followed with a run-scoring single to center to make it 1-1.

The countdown to baseball’s Opening Day is on for the West Michigan Whitecaps since Major League Baseball announced the 2021 Whitecaps schedule Thursday
West Michigan will open the season on the road May 4 in Fort Wayne against the Tin Caps. The Whitecaps will play the Great Lakes Loons in their May 11 home opener at LCMU Ballpark in Comstock Park.
It will mark the first time in more than a year that the Whitecaps will take the field. The 2020 season was cancelled due to the coronavirus pandemic.
“Our fans have been very patient for a very long time,” said Jim Jarecki, VP & General Manager for the Whitecaps in a statement. “It has been well over 500 days since we’ve played ball, but the schedule is our indicator that the sounds of baseball, the smell of the grills and the sounds of fun echoing through LMCU Ballpark are very close.”
