What an electrifying night at Four Winds Field!

A near-historic evening ended in late drama as the South Bend Cubs narrowly avoided being no-hit. Beloit Sky Carp pitchers Karson Milbrandt, Alex Williams, and Ike Burton combined to carry a no-hitter into the bottom of the 9th. But leading off the inning against Beloit’s closer William Kempner, Cristian Hernandez broke up the bid with an infield single—South Bend’s first and only hit of the night.

Despite the late blemish, the Sky Carp held firm, closing out a 3–0 victory behind dominant pitching and timely scoring in the 1st, 5th, and 9th innings.

South Bend’s pitching was also impressive. Jaxson Wiggins got the start, going 4 innings, allowing just one unearned run and striking out 7. Evan Aschenbeck followed with 4 strong innings of relief, surrendering a single run in the 5th and striking out 3. In total, Cubs pitching tallied 12 strikeouts, making this a classic pitcher’s duel from start to finish.

Fans at Four Winds Field were treated to a tension-filled game under ideal baseball conditions—mostly cloudy skies and a comfortable 73°F (23°C).

Though the Cubs dodged the no-hitter, it was a night to remember. Cristian Hernandez’s clutch infield hit kept South Bend off the wrong side of history—for now.

Final score: Beloit 3, South Bend 0.
