Notes: Just like the Storm, the TinCaps bullpen was unable to preserve a 1-1 tie as the TinCaps ended up losing a pitcher’s duel. The TinCap offense went 0-for-3 with RISP, and their only run came off a solo shot from Nick Schulz. Coby Hebner, who had a subpar regular season with Fort Wayne, pitched his tail off tonight.
