Cruz Tosses Another Brilliant Start for 'Caps
FORT WAYNE, Ind. -- For the second straight night, Fort Wayne's furious ninth-inning rally came up just short, as the Bowling Green Hot Rods (Tampa Bay Rays affiliate) held off the TinCaps for a 6-5 victory and a split of the four-game series at Parkview Field.
FORT WAYNE, Ind. -- For the second straight night, Fort Wayne's furious ninth-inning rally came up just short, as the Bowling Green Hot Rods (Tampa Bay Rays affiliate) held off the TinCaps for a 6-5 victory and a split of the four-game series at Parkview Field.
The game was an old-fashioned pitcher's duel through the first five innings.
On the flip side,
Bowling Green scored six runs in the seventh to take the lead for good.
Fort Wayne crawled closer with a run in the eighth via a Chris Givin RBI single, and then nearly completed the comeback with a three-run ninth inning.
Some notable nuggets from Tuesday night's game: Tucupita Marcano smacked a double and a triple, his team-leading 35th multi-hit game of the season. It was also Marcano's fourth game with two extra-base hits this season.
Michael Curry extended his hitting streak to eight games in a 2-for-3 performance. Since Aug. 11, Curry is batting .481 with and OPS of 1.255. The former Georgia Bulldog has two hits in four straight games.
