The performance of Zach Kennedy proved critical in helping South Bend beat Fort Wayne, 16-6. The Cubs third baseman was 4-5 with 2 doubles, 2 singles, and a walk. He scored 2 times and drove in 5. Artie Maddox, the winner, improved to 1-0. He held the TinCaps to 3 runs on 5 hits over 6.1 innings, while striking out 7 and walking 3. With the win, South Bend boosts its record to 2-1.

A key moment came with no one out in the bottom of the third. That's when Kennedy hit a cutter from Ron Whelan for a 2-run single, putting South Bend up, 2-0.

"We came out aggressive," said Cubs manager Taylor Davis. "We came out swinging the bats."
