Coveleski Stadium, the home of the Hawks, was a nice little park. We had a perfect view from the second row, right behind the Silver Hawks dugout. It was interesting to get the chance to see the future Cubs play. Here's how they did:
- Brett Jackson: 0-4, but hit the ball hard in 3 of his ABs, all fly outs.
- Ryan Flaherty: 3-4, big kid looks like a good ball player.
- Rebel Ridling: 1-4
- Kyler Burke: 1-4, came over in the trade that sent Barrett to the Padres.
- D.J. LeMahieu: 2-3, BB; Great hitter. Drafted this year out of LSU.
- Jovan Rosa: 1-4, 2B, came around to score a big run in the 7th to tie the game
- Michael Brenly: 2-3, HR, 2B; Bob's son came up big with a solo home run early in the game to give the Chiefs the lead, and doubled and scored the go-ahead run in the 7th.
- Junior Lake: 0-2, very nice with the glove, made a few Web Gems.
- David Macias: 1-3 with 2 RBIs, had the single that turned a 2-1 SB lead into a 3-2 Chiefs lead.
Austin Bibens-Dirkx pitched a heck of a game, allowing just 4 hits, and 2 runs (on a home run). The kid has good stuff, and picked up his 3rd win of the year with Peoria. Chris Huseby came on in the 9th, he looked wild but got the job done, picking up his 14th save despite a pair of walks.
Final Score: Peoria 3, South Bend 2
Next week I'll get a chance to see more future Cubs at Wrigley Field when I visit the Road to Wrigley game on Sunday.
More posts later...
