Cubs Drop Whitecaps, 19-3
The South Bend Cubs finished off the West Michigan Whitecaps, 19-3. Much of the credit belonged to first baseman Héctor Olivo. Olivo was 3-3 with 3 singles and a walk, while scoring 3 for the Cubs. Rodrigo Vargas picked up the win with 8.1 innings of work. He allowed 3 runs on 9 hits, while walking 2 and striking out 2. On the season, he is now 2-7. The Cubs go to 43-64 with the win.

The Cubs got a big hit from shortstop Norm Armitage. Facing West Michigan pitcher Steve Hood in the top of the eighth, Armitage pounded a bases-clearing triple to right. His 1st triple of the season put the Cubs ahead, 19-3.

"It's always fun to score a lot of runs," said Olivo.
