Fort Wayne TinCaps News Release
SOUTH BEND, Ind. - Fort Wayne ended Saturday at Four Winds Field with just three hits, falling to the South Bend Cubs, 5-0.
South Bend (9-23) struck first, scoring four runs on three hits in the first inning. In the second, South Bend put two on with one out following a walk and a Cristian Hernandez (No. 11 Cubs prospect) double. The Cubs scored their fifth and final run after Jose Sanabria stabbed a 107 mph ground ball from Jefferson Rojas (No. 7 Cubs prospect) but couldn't throw out Ivan Brethowr at the plate. The very next at-bat, Sanabria flashed the leather on a ground ball at 114 mph off the bat, turning an inning-ending double play.
The TinCaps (18-14) did not record a hit until the seventh inning. Cubs starter Ryan Gallagher struck out a career-high eight across six hitless innings, just surrendering two walks. A First Team All-American at UC Santa Barbara in 2024, Gallagher faced the minimum through the first five innings.
Fort Wayne swatted its first base hit in the seventh. Rosman Verdugo (No. 24 Padres prospect) lined a leadoff single to begin the inning. Sanabria recorded the lone TinCap extra-base hit, shooting a double to right field in the eighth.
Harry Gustin, Luis Germán, and Xavier Ruiz combined for 4 â..." scoreless innings out of the bullpen, but the 'Caps couldn't rally, being shut out for the fourth time this season.
