Cubs Tack 6-3 Loss on West Michigan
Danny Aguirre led South Bend to a win over West Michigan. The final score was 6-3. Aguirre scored 2 times, while going 3 for 4. The first baseman also was credited with 1 run batted in. With the win, South Bend improves its record to 3-10.

Who knows how it would've ended, had it not been for Brendan Quillen? The 22-year old catcher Quillen stroked a run-scoring walk in the top of the eighth inning to put South Bend up, 5-3. For the game, he was 2 for 4, including 1 double and 1 single.

"We're producers not directors," said Aguirre. "Produce a good swing. Can't direct where it goes."
