South Bend 7, Wisconsin 5 South Bend’s comeback victories have become a routine this year, especially at Four Winds Field. Today the Cubs decided to start that process early. Wisconsin struck first, after an RBI single from Thomas Dillard plated the Timber Rattler shortstop David Hamilton in the first inning. But South Bend got the run back in the second, on Matt Burch’s first hit for South Bend. Burch took an 0-1 pitch deep into right field for a standup double that scored Yonathan Perlaza from first. Then the home run ball came into play. A leadoff walk of Chad McClanahan in the third set up Hamilton to do some damage for Wisconsin. He obliged, taking a Ryan Jensen fastball over the right centerfield wall. It wasn’t an automatic homer, but it just kept carrying over the wall to give Wisconsin a 3-1 lead. South Bend chipped away in the bottom half of the frame, scoring a run to make it 3-2 on a single rocketed up the middle by Tyler Durna.
