PYROTECHNICS: Tonight marks the second Fireworks Night of the year at Parkview Field, this week sponsored by Aunt Millie's. Last week's Fireworks Night resulted in the largest crowd for a TinCaps home game this season, at 4,176.

MOISES MOWS 'EM DOWN: TinCaps starter Moises Lugo has been one of the best pitchers in all of High-A Central at limiting damage. The 22-year-old from the Dominican Republic is holding opponents to a .190 BABIP (batting average on balls in play), which would rank as the best clip in the league by nearly 40 points. Additionally, Lugo has held opposing hitters to a .183 batting average against (a top-5 mark), and he induces a fly ball 55.4% of the time (2nd highest, only behind teammate Ethan Elliott at 55.7%).

FIREPOWER: Offensively, Fort Wayne has some of the premier hitters in High-A Central in several categories. OF Tirso Ornelas is tied for 2nd in 2B (11), only behind Lake County OF Will Brennan's 12...OF Agustin Ruiz is T-5th in RBI (24) and is 4th in HR (8)...C Jonny Homza is 5th in OPS (.907), 4th in Isolated Power (.277), 6th in wRC+ (146), and 2nd in Line Drive % (26.7%)...INF Ethan Skender is 3rd in Ground Ball % (63.0%), and 3rd in Pull Rate (54.1%)...and INF Justin Lopez is 6th in Up The Middle Rate (34.4%) and 4th in Fly Ball % (55.9%).

WALK THIS WAY: Dwanya Williams-Sutton doesn't have enough plate appearances to qualify as a league leader right now, but if he did, he'd league High-A Central in BB% at a whopping 25% after a 3 BB night on Thursday. Add in that he's been hit by 2 pitches while batting .275, and his .482 OBP would lead by 30 points and 1.032 OPS would also be the best mark in the league... Williams-Sutton led the Low-A Midwest League in OBP in 2019 at .411.

SO GREAT TO HAVE YOU BACK: The Fort Wayne TinCaps have welcomed in an increased capacity this homestand, jumping from approximately 30% over the first month of the season to now 40%. On June 29th, the TinCaps will increase capacity again to roughly 70%. Additionally, the team announced this past Tuesday that every seat at Parkview Field will be available for purchase for games from June 29th on.
