MIDLAND, Mich. -- After a 4-2 homestand, the TinCaps began a weeklong road trip with a come-from-behind, 3-1, win against the Great Lakes Loons (Los Angeles Dodgers) at Dow Diamond on Monday night. Fort Wayne is now on a three-game winning streak.
Designated hitter Luis Campusano broke a 1-1 tie with a two-run single to left field off left-hander Leo Crawford in the top of the eighth inning. Campusano's hit plated center fielder Jeisson Rosario , who led the inning off with a walk, and right fielder Tirso Ornelas , who had doubled.
While Campusano provided the biggest offensive moment of the game, righty reliever Caleb Boushley was the unsung hero out of the bullpen with 3 2/3 scoreless innings. Boushley entered the game with the bases full and one out in the fifth and proceeded to strike out Great Lakes (3-12) cleanup hitter Carlos Rincon and got No. 17 Dodgers prospect Starling Heredia to fly out to right field.
Lefty Travis Radke followed Boushley with a perfect ninth inning for the save.
The Loons' only run came in the first inning, and the TinCaps answered it right away in the second. First baseman Carlos Belen drew a walk and advanced to second base on a balk against Edwin Uceta. After shortstop Gabriel Arias grounded out to move Belen over to third, third baseman Justin Lopez plated him with a sacrifice fly.
Boushley and Fort Wayne (7-11) were also aided by strong defense. Left fielder Tre Carter made a phenomenal, run-saving, diving catch in left-center field with two outs in the bottom of the seventh inning as he took away what would have been a go-ahead hit for Rincon with a runner at second.
