Showdown in Cedar Rapids: Cubs Ride Off Victorious It was a hot one in Cedar Rapids, and the South Bend Cubs came to town lookin’ to even some scores and rustle up a win. Young Ryan Gallagher took the mound like a seasoned gunslinger, evening his record at 4 wins and 4 losses. He threw six frames, gave up seven hits, four earned runs, and sat down six batters with his fastball straight as a rifle shot. The Cubs struck first blood in the top of the second, when Brian Kalmer roped a single to center to bring Andy Garriola gallopin’ home — 1–0 South Bend. In the fourth, Garriola got in on the action himself, sendin’ a base hit to right field that brought Jefferson Rojas and Cristian Hernandez across the plate. Cubs were up 3–0 and feelin’ mighty fine. But the Kernels weren’t about to fold that easy. They clawed their way back with two runs in the fifth and another pair in the sixth, takin’ a 4–3 lead and makin’ folks nervous in the visitor dugout. Then came the 7th. Two outs, Garriola on first after a single and a sneaky stolen base — his fifth of the year. Cameron Sisneros stepped up to the plate, stared down Jacob Kisting, and after fallin’ behind 1–2, launched his first home run in the Midwest League into the Cedar Rapids twilight. That ball might still be travelin’. Cubs jumped ahead 5–4. The bottom of the 7th was a real saloon brawl. Kenton Egbert found himself in a mess of trouble, leadoff double, bases loaded — but he kept his cool. When Misael Urbina rolled one to short, Cristian Hernandez scooped it clean and ended the threat. No damage done. In the 9th, Brayden Risedorph rode in like the town marshal, shutting things down without so much as a scuff on his boots. That clean frame earned him his second save, and the Cubs rode off with a 5–4 win.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

South Bend Cubs Split Doubleheader in Cedar Rapids The South Bend Cubs played one and a half games Friday night, finishing a suspended contest from Thursday and following it with a shortened seven-inning Game 2. It was a night of big swings — both on the scoreboard and at the plate. ⚾ Game 1 – Cubs Let 5–0 Lead Slip Away South Bend entered the resumed game leading 5–0 in the bottom of the 3rd, but the game unraveled in the 5th. Danny De Andrade hit a grand slam (his 8th HR) off Chase Watkins, tying the game at 5. Watkins gave up 5 runs in the inning, and Luis Rujano allowed the go-ahead run later. Final: Cedar Rapids 6, South Bend 5

Schlaffer Wins the Bout as Cubs Outpunch Kernels 4–1 This afternoon at Veterans Memorial Stadium felt more like a title fight than a baseball game, as South Bend’s Tyler Schlaffer and Cedar Rapids’ Chase Cheney squared off in a heavyweight pitching duel. Schlaffer came out swinging—delivering haymakers from the mound with 10 strikeouts over 7 innings, allowing just one hit on 100 pitches. A true prizefight performance. Cheney went the distance for the Kernels, tossing 6 1/3 innings and giving up only 4 hits and 2 earned runs, but took the tough-luck loss. The Cubs broke the scoreless tie in the 7th when Ivan Brethowr landed a clean jab—a line-drive single to right—scoring Cameron Sisneros. Miguel Pabon advanced to third and then crossed home plate on a Brian Kalmer sac fly. In the 8th, South Bend kept landing punches. Jefferson Rojas scored on a Sisneros sacrifice fly, and Cristian Hernández stole third—his 28th bag of the year—then scored on a wild throw by catcher Luke Napleton. That made it 4–0 before the Kernels answered with a late-round run in the 9th. South Bend wins the bout by unanimous decision, 4–1. Next game tomorrow night—first bell rings at 7:15 p.m. with pregame on Sports Radio See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Andy Garriola and Brian Kalmer each collected two hits, with Kalmer launching his first home run of the season. Ivan Brethowr had a huge night—he scored four times, hit his fourth homer of the year, and helped ignite a five-run rally in the top of the sixth inning. South Bend scored ten runs on just eight hits, taking advantage of six walks to beat the Cedar Rapids Kernels 10–6 on the road in Iowa Tuesday night.

Final Score: Cedar Rapids Kernels 9, South Bend Cubs 1 The South Bend Cubs dropped the series finale to the Cedar Rapids Kernels, closing out a difficult road trip with a 9–1 loss. The defeat drops the Cubs to 1–13 on the road this season and gives the Kernels five wins in the six-game set. South Bend struck first with a Carter Trice RBI single in the top of the first. Trice also stood out defensively, making key plays in center field during the third and fourth innings to momentarily keep the game close. Trice and Reginald Preciado each recorded two hits in the game. Starter Kenten Egbert gave up back-to-back singles before being pulled for Joe Nahas in the fifth. That inning unraveled quickly, as the Kernels sent eight batters to the plate and scored five runs on four singles to take control. Cedar Rapids later added two more runs in the bottom of the eighth, finishing with 11 hits to South Bend’s 9. Reliever Luis Rujano provided a bright spot out of the bullpen, throwing 1.2 innings and striking out three. The Cubs had a chance to rally in the eighth with the bases loaded but couldn’t push across another run. South Bend returns home to Four Winds Field next week for a six-game homestand against the Fort Wayne TinCaps, hoping to reverse their road struggles and get back on trackSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Ryan Gallagher got the start for South Bend and went 2.2 innings before giving way to Connor Schultz, who initially stopped the bleeding by recording the final out of the third. However, Schultz ran into serious trouble in the fourth and fifth innings, surrendering five runs on five hits while issuing three walks. The Kernels capitalized on Cubs pitching struggles and pulled away to secure the winSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Cedar Rapids Kernels Take Game One Over South Bend Cubs, 10–4 CEDAR RAPIDS, IA — The South Bend Cubs couldn’t overcome early and late surges from the Cedar Rapids Kernels, falling 10–4 in the series opener Tuesday night. Cedar Rapids jumped on Cubs starter Tyler Schlaffer right away, plating four runs in the first inning. Schlaffer lasted just one frame before giving way to Conner Schultz, who provided 3.1 innings of steady relief, allowing only one run. Carlo Reyes followed and tossed two scoreless innings to keep South Bend within striking distance. The Cubs fought back in the fourth, erupting for four runs to tie the game. Jefferson Rojas launched his first home run of the season — a two-run shot — and Reginald Preciado added a two-RBI single to center, scoring Andy Garriola and Reivaj Garcia. South Bend added pressure on the bases with two double steals in the inning and finished the game with six stolen bases. However, the momentum shifted again in the bottom of the seventh. Evan Taylor made his South Bend debut and struggled, issuing a leadoff walk before surrendering a two-run homer to Gabriel Gonzalez. Taylor allowed five runs in the frame as the Kernels pulled away for good. Despite strong offensive efforts, including Preciado’s first three-hit game of the year, the Cubs were stifled by Cedar Rapids’ defense, which turned four double plays to squash potential rallies.
