FORT WAYNE, Ind. - The TinCaps offense broke out early, scoring five times in the first inning, en route to a dominant 7-2 win on Mother's Day against the Beloit Sky Carp (Miami Marlins affiliate) at Parkview Field.

Catcher Colton Bender chipped in with a sacrifice fly, scoring Cummings, to make it 5-0 after the first inning.
