Hot Rods Popped by TinCaps, 8-2
Behind a solid performance from third baseman Qin-shu Jiang, the Fort Wayne TinCaps defeated the Bowling Green Hot Rods, 8-2. Jiang hit 2 home runs for the TinCaps. The TinCaps with just their 3rd win in 20 games, have played uninspired baseball so far.

The Hot Rods had been locked in a 2-2 tie with the TinCaps going into the bottom of the fifth inning. That changed quickly when the 20-year old catcher Wes Hardy came to the plate. Hardy hit a run-scoring double on a 1-1 fastball from Bowling Green hurler Rob Byrd. It was Hardy's 4th double of the year.

"Good baseball players make you a smarter manager," said Fort Wayne manager Yunir Garcia.
