Cubs Stop LumberKings, 4-1
The South Bend Cubs knocked off the Clinton LumberKings, 4-1, in Midwest League action at Four Winds Field at Coveleski Stadium. South Bend pitcher and Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic, native Marco Gutierrez had an outstanding performance. The third-place Cubs are 49-46.

The LumberKings had been locked in a 1-1 tie with the Cubs going into the bottom of the fifth inning. That changed quickly when the former first round draft pick Spencer Heap came to the plate. Heap hit a run-scoring double on a 1-1 fastball from Clinton hurler Bob Gardner. It was Heap's 18th double of the year.

"Bottom line," said Clinton skipper Matt Vining, "we didn't play well enough to win."
