Burlington right fielder José Castro had a terrific game, but it still wasn't enough to get his team a win. Castro went 2 for 3 with a home run and a walk. He drove in 3 runs and scored once, even as South Bend beat the Bees, 7-6. Glenn Hughes picked up the win in relief. His record improves to 1-0. Leonardo A. Kimball suffered the loss. After losing, Burlington is 11-14.

Chris Allen was the walk-off hero for South Bend. With the game tied in the bottom of the ninth inning, the Cubs second baseman hit a dramatic run-scoring single to send the teams home.

"I'm just looking to see the ball, hit the ball," said Allen.
