LANSING, Mich. - The Lansing Lugnuts (23-16) finished off a second dominant series against a West Division foe, topping the South Bend Cubs (10-29), 8-4, on Sunday afternoon at Jackson® Field™.

The Lugnuts improved to 10-2 against the West, winning five of six games at home against the Cubs a month after winning five of six games at the Wisconsin Timber Rattlers. South Bend's road record dropped to 2-19.

T.J. Schofield-Sam went 3-for-4 with two runs, two singles, a double and an HBP to lift his league-leading batting average to .352. Ryan Lasko added a pair of singles, a pair of walks, a steal and three runs scored, and Rodney Green, Jr. went 2-for-3 with an RBI double, two walks and two steals, helping the Lugnuts collect 13 hits, eight walks and four steals in all.
