Here’s a nice piece on Ben Zobrist’s rehab stint in South Bend and what the minor leaguers there are learning from him. I especially liked how shortstop Andy Weber, Zobrist’s double-play partner tonight, admitted that Zobrist broke his Indians-fan heart back before he became a Cub.
Before last night’s win, the I-Cubs last win in Tacoma was on August 27, 2014. Junior Lake batted leadoff in that game. Kris Bryant tripled. David Bote hit his first Triple-A home run. Bote got a late-season fill-in promotion from Kane County late that year.
