Big hits

The TinCaps had as many hits with runners in scoring position Sunday (seven) as they did the previous five games of the homestand. The clutch hitting led to an 8-3 win over Beloit.

"It was a big thing. We had been a little slow with our bats the last couple of days. It was good to score more than three runs in this game," said catcher Jason Hagerty, who went 3 for 4 with three RBI.

Fort Wayne went 7 for 22 with runners in scoring position. In the previous five games (in which the team had a 1-4 record), the TinCaps were 7 for 55 with runners in scoring position.
