West Michigan Defeated by South Bend, 8-5
The South Bend Cubs beat the West Michigan Whitecaps, 8-5, at Fifth Third Ballpark. The win was due in part to center fielder Phil Lind, who was 2-4 with a triple and a walk. He scored 2 runs and drove in 3. Getting the save was Artie Maddox, his 2nd. The loss makes West Michigan 6-3.

With South Bend leading 1-0 in the top of the third, Lind hit a curveball from Jody Simmons for a bases-clearing triple. It was his 1st triple of the season and put the Cubs ahead, 4-0.

"We scored enough runs to win," said Lind.
