TinCaps Rally Late to Clip Lansing
Starting pitcher Rob Nelson pitched well enough to help the Fort Wayne TinCaps beat the Lansing Lugnuts, 5-4. Fort Wayne, with the win, sits at 10-37.

Fort Wayne used the timely hitting of Norberto Cuervo to seize the win. The right fielder stroked a run-scoring single in the top of the 12th inning to put the TinCaps on top, 5-4. It was his only hit in 5 at-bats, but it was a game-changer.

"I play this game for myself and my family, but of course it's always nice when we can win," said Nelson.
