Chiefs Walk Off TinCaps in Extra Innings 2-1

Peoria, IL - Mick Fennell's walk-off single in the bottom of the 12^th inning gave the Peoria Chiefs a 2-1 win over the Fort Wayne TinCaps on Monday. With the win, the Chiefs improve to 15-10 in the second half and 45-49 overall.
    After three scoreless and hitless innings for both teams, the TinCaps got on the board first in the top of the fourth against Peoria starter Ian Oxnevad. Reinaldo Illarraza was hit by a pitch to lead off and came home to score on a double by Jorge Oña to give Fort Wayne a 1-0 lead. The Chiefs caught both Illarraza and Oña in a run down but weren't able to get either of them out. Illarraza scored and Oña advanced to third on the throw.

Kramer Robertson broke up TinCaps starter Michel Baez's potential no-hit bid in the bottom of the sixth with a two-out single. He stole second to put a runner in scoring position, but Baez struck out Stefan Trosclair a batter later to end the inning.
    Peoria evened the game an inning later against Baez. Vince Jackson homered to left field, his sixth home run of the season, to knot the game at 1-1.
    The Chiefs walked off the TinCaps in the 12^th with a run against reliever Blake Rogers. Juan Yepez singled with one out and advanced to third on Nick Plummer's single, and Rogers intentionally walked Matt Fiedler to load the bases. On the first pitch of the at bat, Fennell singled to right-center field to win the game 2-1.
    Oxnevad took a no decision allowing one run on two hits over seven innings with four strikeouts and two walks on 88 pitches. Bryan Dobzanski tossed two scoreless innings in relief giving up one hit. Five of the six outs he recorded came via the strikeout. Keaton Siomkin threw two hitless innings striking out three and walking two. Dewin Perez (2-3) earned the win with one inning, not allowing a hit or run, striking out two and walking one.
