Great Lakes scored two more runs in the second inning off of a two-run home run by Nick Yarnall. Great Lakes added four more runs in the third inning to take a commanding 9-0 lead.
Fort Wayne (4-10) did not collect a hit until the bottom of the sixth inning. Designated hitter Gabriel Arias grounded a ball up the middle for the first hit of the night.
The next batter, right fielder Jack Suwinski , got the TinCaps on the scoreboard with a sacrifice fly to right field, scoring Rosario and cutting the Loons deficit to 10-1.
