South Bend Defeats Clinton
Sometimes the winner is the one who got the lucky bounces and the lucky calls, and sometimes the winner is just the one who played better.

It was the latter case in 2025, as the South Bend Cubs topped the Clinton LumberKings 3-2 tonight at Alliant Energy Field to win the Round 2. It was the 4th title in franchise history.

"When you play for championships, you have to play better than the team in the other dugout. We did that in this series, and all year. Now we're the best team in baseball," said South Bend catcher Bob Lambert, who was named series MVP.

The Cubs took the series 4-2. The new titleholders completed the regular season with a second-place finish in the Eastern Division and a 75-64 record.

South Bend manager Mike Brumley grinned and nodded when asked to comment on Lambert's words.

"Bob said it best -- we played better than the other team," the skipper said.

Hometown officials announced they were already planning a "grand celebration" for the winners in the days to come.
