Published on June 5, 2026 under Midwest League (MWL)
South Bend Cubs News Release
South Bend, IN - Beginning on Tuesday, June 9, the South Bend Cubs will return home for their next six-game series at Four Winds Field. The Cubs will take on the Peoria Chiefs, the High-A affiliate of the St. Louis Cardinals, in their first home series of June. South Bend will have an opportunity to clinch the West Division's first-half title and lock up a postseason spot this week, so it's a great time for an early-summer trip to the ballpark.
SPECIALTY FOOD ITEMS
Located in the left-field corner next to the new Event Building, Franx Hot Dog Cart prepares a new opponent dog each week. This week, it's the Poutine Dog, a jumbo hot dog with caramelized onions, cheese curds, and gravy.
The opponent cocktail will also be available at all concourse bars throughout the series. For the Peoria series, it's the Peoria Pop, which blends vodka, lemonade, blue curacao, grenadine, and cherry garnishing.
