Rustay Lifts Cubs to 9-2 Win
The South Bend Cubs stopped the West Michigan Whitecaps, 9-2, at Fifth Third Ballpark. The Cubs got a big game from Andy Rustay, who went 4 for 5 with 2 triples and 2 doubles. He scored 3 runs and drove in 3. Earning his 1st save for South Bend was Fernan Lameiras. The Cubs, with just their 4th win in 14 games, have played uninspired baseball so far.

Early in the game, Rustay had a run-scoring triple for South Bend. It was his 3rd triple of the season and put the Cubs on top, 1-0.

"We took it on the chin tonight," said losing manager Noah Fourie.
