Extra-Inning Win by Cubs Over Dragons
Fans watched the South Bend Cubs and the Dayton Dragons fight to the finish.

The performance of Norm Armitage proved critical in helping South Bend beat Dayton, 6-5. The Cubs designated hitter was 4 for 6 with a home run and 3 singles, while adding 2 RBI and scoring once. Mike Tillman snagged the win in relief. The left-hander allowed 2 runs on 2 hits over 3 innings. He's now 2-3 on the season.

South Bend used the timely hitting of Ron McIntosh to seize the win. The catcher stroked a run-scoring single in the top of the 11th inning to put the Cubs on top, 5-4. It was his only hit in 1 at-bat, but it was a game-changer.

"Our team found a way to get it done," said Armitage.

South Bend is now 24-32, while Dayton is 28-28.
