Loons-Cubs Suspended, Will be Continued Tomorrow at 5:35 pm

SOUTH BEND, Ind. – The Great Lakes Loons (28-26) and South Bend Cubs (15-37) were delayed with a 2-1 Loons lead in the top of the fifth due to an unexpected popup rain shower that persisted and led to a suspension of the contest on a 74-degree cloudy Friday night at Four Winds Field.

The suspended game will be continued tomorrow Saturday, June 7th at 5:35 pm. It will be followed by a seven-inning game between the Cubs and the Loons.

- Both teams scored in the first inning. With two outs, Mike Sirota earned a six-pitch walk. Zyhir Hope next-up went first pitch swinging and doubled to left field a 335-footer off the wall.

- The Cubs’ Carter Trice hit his third solo home run of the series to start the night. Great Lake starter Luke Fox permitted just three baserunners through the next three frames.

- Logan Wagner gave Great Lakes a 2-1 lead in the third. A RBI single scored Kendall George, who singled to start the frame and stole second base. Wagner added his 42nd RBI to pad his Midwest League lead, and George swiped his 25th base, now second in the league.

- The game was suspended with one out in the top of the fifth and a 3-0 count on Mike Sirota.
