Red-Hot South Bend Cubs Sweep Doubleheader, Extend Win Streak to Six
The South Bend Cubs stayed scorching hot on Saturday, sweeping a road doubleheader against the Fort Wayne TinCaps with gritty, clutch performances to stretch their winning streak to six games—and five straight at Parkview Field this series. The Cubs took Game 1 by a score of 3–1 and followed it with a dominant 4–0 victory in Game 2.
In the opener, the Cubs plated a run on a bases-loaded balk in the 5th, then broke a 1–1 tie in the top of the 7th. Carter Trice delivered a soft but perfectly placed fly ball single to center field, scoring Reginald Preciado and Drew Bowser. Starter Ryan Gallagher shined again, tossing 5.2 sharp innings, allowing just one run while striking out eight—his third consecutive strong outing. Joe Nahas slammed the door with a lockdown relief appearance.
Game 2 belonged to South Bend’s starter, who pitched a brilliant, complete game shutout, scattering just four hits and fanning five. The offense ignited in the 3rd inning as Andy Garriola ripped a bases-clearing double. Brian Kalmer added an RBI double in the 4th to cap the scoring.
