I’ve had the dates circled on the calendar all year – August 10, 11, and 12. These are the dates that the South Bend Cubs would be in Beloit, Wisconsin, about 45 minutes from my house. It’s a little hard covering a team via MiLB.TV and radio every day. I need that up-close experience where I get to hear the ball hit the bat, hit the glove, feel the cool summer air shortly after sunset. I got all those things and more last night in Beloit.
The South Bend Cubs came into the game with a 21-22 record in the second half, six games out of first in the Midwest League’s Eastern division.
