Dayton, Ohio -The Fort Wayne TinCaps produced a season-high 17 hits while a trio of TinCap pitchers combined for a one-hit shutout as Fort Wayne defeated the Dayton Dragons 10-0 on Saturday night.

A crowd of 7,788 was in attendance at Day Air Ballpark in the heart of the Water Street District.

Game Summary:

Fort Wayne took a 1-0 lead on the first pitch of the game. Kai Roberts smacked a solo home run over the left field fence for his second blast of the season. Oswaldo Linares and Ryan Jackson produced RBI singles in the second and fifth innings respectively to grow Fort Wayne's advantage to 3-0.

All three runs were charged to Dayton starter Luke Hayden, who tossed four and one-third innings allowing six hits. Hayden fanned a career-high seven batters in the outing.

The TinCaps stretched their lead to 7-0 with four runs in the sixth inning, headlined by a Jack Costello two-RBI double off Dayton reliever Dylan Simmons.

Fort Wayne tacked on three more in the eighth to close out the scoring, thanks in-part to a Brandon Butterworth solo home run over the center field wall.
