Great Lakes Loons News Release


FORT WAYNE, Ind. - The Great Lakes Loons (55-45) (21-14) were stymied by Fort Wayne TinCaps (49-52) (18-18) pitching, dropping the series finale 5-3 on a 75-degree sunny Sunday afternoon at Parkview Field. The Loons won the series four games to two.

- Fort Wayne scored five runs in the second inning and Great Lakes tallied two runs in the fifth.

- After an eight-pitch two-strikeout first inning from Maddux Bruns, a walk, a hit by pitch, and catcher's interference loaded the bases. After a second walk, put the TinCaps on the board, Ryan Jackson and Kasen Wells delivered back-to-back two-run singles to make it 5-0. A throwing error in center field put Jackson in scoring position, and Wells plated him.

- Wilman Diaz drove home the two runs for Great Lakes. After Luis Gutierrez's first walk of the day, the left-hander put a pitch in the wheelhouse of Diaz, who lifted it 386 feet to deep left field.

- Loons batters in the final four innings were struck out six times, stranding two runners.

- Kendall George walked in the fifth and reached on a fielder's choice error in the seventh. The Dodgers' No. 11 prospect extended his on-base streak to 20 games and added his 65th stolen base of the season. The on-base streak is the longest by a Loon in 2025.
