Casey had a feel for his stuff from the start of his outing. In seven strong innings, Casey allowed just one run and struck out five batters. The last time Casey went seven innings was on the night of South Bend's no-hitter on May 6 against Cedar Rapids. That night, Casey pitched seven perfect innings.
Offensively, the Cubs were on the board quickly in the top of the 1st inning when
Weber finished his night with three hits.
The victory improves South Bend to 66-55 on the season. With two wins to start the seven game road trip, the club will pack the bus and head to Midland, Michigan to take on the Great Lakes Loons starting tomorrow at 7:05 PM.
