Fort Wayne, IN - The Fort Wayne TinCaps continue to flex their collective muscles against South Bend in 2009, winning Friday night by an 11-3 final score. The TinCaps have now won 13 of the 14 matchups between the two squads this season, including both games in the second half thus far.

After two scoreless innings, Fort Wayne scored four runs in the bottom of the third against South Bend starter Wade Miley (LP, 3-6). With the bases loaded and one out, Daniel Robertson blooped a ball down the left field line to score two of his teammates. Justin Baum followed with a RBI single and Allan Dykstra added a sacrifice fly for the 4-0 lead.

Fort Wayne added two more runs against Miley in the bottom of the fifth. Blake Tekotte started the inning with a home run, his ninth of the season and his fourth against the Silver Hawks. Drew Cumberland followed with a single, went to second on a walk, went to third on a hit batter, and scored when reliever Yonata Ortega (ND) balked him home for the 6-0 advantage.

Fort Wayne added a run in the sixth against Ortega with Robertson picking up another RBI, and plated two in the seventh and two more in the eighth against reliever Jordan Meaker (ND).

South Bend could not muster any runs against Fort Wayne starter Stiven Osuna (WP, 3-6). Osuna held the Hawks to just three hits in 5.0 innings, striking out six and walking three.
