TinCaps Bottled Up, Blanked By Captains
The combination of a poor start and a punchless offense led the High-A Fort Wayne TinCaps to drop an 8-0 decision to the Lake County Captains. Three Captains pitchers combined to limit the TinCaps to two hits.
Kavares Tears had a leadoff single in the third inning and Justin DeCriscio a two-out single in the sixth for the TinCaps' only hits.
TinCaps right-handed starter Carson Montgomery gave up five runs in just 1⅔ innings on four hits and three walks with two strikeouts. Right-hander Nick Falter followed by allowing three runs in two-thirds of an inning on five hits and a walk.

Storm Rally Comes Up Shy Against Grizzlies
Yoiber Ocopio and Jose Verdugo each drove in a pair of runs, but the host Lake Elsinore Storm came up short in an 8-7 loss to the Fresno Grizzlies.
Storm right-hander Lan-Hong Su, a 19-year-old international signing in October from Taiwan, gave up four runs in 2⅔ innings in his Lake Elsinore debut. He allowed four hits, while walking one and striking out two.
Fresno scored once in the top of the first, but the Storm came back in the bottom half on a Dylan Grego one-out double, Jose Verdugo was hit by a pitch with two outs and Ocopio brought them both home with a double. The Grizzlies tied it in the top of the second, scored twice in the third, two more in the fifth and one more in the sixth and seventh for an 8-2 lead.
But the Storm made a furious comeback in the bottom of the seventh. With two outs, Yimy Tovar singled, Dawson Willis walked and Grego hit a grounder to short that was booted, allowing Tovar to score. Qrey Lott struck out, but reached on a wild pitch with Willis scoring and Grego going to third. Verdugo followed with a two-run double to make it 8-6, went to third on a wild pitch and scored on a passed ball to pull within 8-7.
