FORT WAYNE, Ind. - The TinCaps took an early lead Friday against Dayton, but the Dragons took advantage of pitching miscues and Fort Wayne fell, 10-5.

Dayton sent nine batters to the plate in a big top of the 3rd. A double, hit batsman and walk loaded the bases with nobody out. Henry Rodriguez drove in a run with a groundout, a wild pitch plated Jordan Wideman and Byron Wiley's RBI single tied it at 3-3. Chris Richburg singled home the go-ahead run and Mark Fleury's groundout made it 5-3.

In the top of the 5th, Wiley drilled a two-run homer to push the deficit to 7-3.

The TinCaps rallied in the 7th. Jeudy Valdez cracked an RBI double to left, then Nate Freiman singled to chase Valdez home and cut it to 7-5.

That was as close as the TinCaps got. Dayton put up three runs in the top of the 9th. Wideman ripped a leadoff home run and Richburg stroked an RBI single to cap the rally.
