Magic was in the air and on the mound at Stanley Coveleski Regional Stadium, as Joe Gibbs held the South Bend Cubs spellbound in his 12-0 shutout victory. The West Michigan Whitecaps pitcher went the distance, rang up 10 strikeouts, walked 0, and held the Cubs to 7 hits.

"He just had us in his thrall," South Bend manager Taylor Davis said. "We couldn't put anything together against him."
