*FORT WAYNE, Ind. *-- The Manzanas Luchadoras de Fort Wayne, the new alternate identity of the TinCaps for Hispanic Heritage Weekend, shut out South Bend, 1-0, on Saturday night to earn a split of their doubleheader in front of a sell-out crowd of 8,016 fans. It was the eighth sell-out of the season at Parkview Field, and second in three nights.
In the nightcap, left-handed starter *Jackson Wolf *threw six scoreless innings with four strikeouts, scattering two singles and three walks.
Fort Wayne (16-19, 43-58) scored the game's only run with two outs in the third of the seven-inning game. Shortstop Jarryd Dale *had walked and stolen second base. First baseman *Carlos Luis, last week's California League Player of the Week, who was then promoted from Single-A Lake Elsinore, fisted an opposite-field single to left field on the seventh pitch of his at-bat with the count at 2-2, scoring Dale.
