In a high-scoring contest between Bowling Green and South Bend, left fielder Josh Ridgeway was a difference-maker. Ridgeway distinguished himself in the 11-8 Bowling Green win. He was 4 for 5 with a home run and 2 doubles. He scored 2 times. The Hot Rods move to 42-64 with the win, while the Cubs drop to 52-54.

Ramon Franco came through with a big-time hit for Bowling Green. The shortstop smacked a 3-run home run in the top of the ninth inning to give his team the lead, 10-7. It was his only hit, but it was clutch.

"Whenever you can come through for your ball club, it's a great thing," said Ridgeway.
