The South Bend Cubs picked up a win at Stanley Coveleski Regional Stadium, knocking off the Great Lakes Loons, 3-1. Starting pitcher Marcus Kerklaan played a key role in the triumph. South Bend is now 21-20, Great Lakes 19-22.

Bob Lambert went 1-3 for South Bend. The 23-year old catcher had a key at-bat in the bottom of the sixth. With one out and the bases loaded, he broke a 0-0 tie with a run-scoring sacrifice fly off Bob Marín. It was his 17th RBI of the season.

"We have a lot of confidence in Marcus," said South Bend manager Taylor Davis.
