Cubs defeat rival Bandits 5-4 to bounce back and end their 2 game losing streak.  

Will Bartos pitched 6 innings for the win and Isaac Munoz pithed the 7th for the save.  Bartos gave up 6 hits, 3 earned runs while striking out 9 and no walks.  "We pitched really well tonight.  As I said yesterday, walks will kill any team, and us going out tonight and punching out 11 while only giving up one free pass put us in a position to win the game", said Bartos in the player cafeteria after the game. 

Offensively, the Cubs did a great job putting the bat on the ball with only 2 K's for the game, while pounding out 9 hits, with LF Justin Williams leading with 2 hits and 2 RBI.  "I felt like we did a great job hitting tonight, we were chopping up the pitching and bringing it to the hibachi most the night", said CF Hudson Bell.  

With the win, the Cubs secure the #1 seed for the weeknight league moving to 3.5 games ahead of the Bandits with 2 games left.  "I'm glad we secured the #1 seed, that's what we set out to do in February when we are in the gym doing two-a-days", said manager Will Bartos.

Cubs move to 8-1-1 for the weeknight (16-3-1 overall), with the Bandits falling to 4-4-2.

The Cubs would like to send their condolences to the fence behind the on-deck circle of the first baseline after taking a beating from a thrown bat.
