DAYTON, Ohio (Interstat) — The South Bend Cubs and Dayton Dragons meet for the sixth time in six days Sunday afternoon at Day Air Ballpark, with first pitch set for after an afternoon start under cloudy skies and 72-degree temperatures.

South Bend (11-6) enters with the series split 2-3 after a 6-1 victory Saturday. The Cubs send right-hander Ethan Flanagan (0-1) to the mound. Flanagan is seeking his first win of the season after allowing five earned runs over three innings in his last outing April 19 against Beloit.

Dayton (9-10) counters with right-hander Beau Blanchard, who took the loss Saturday against South Bend, allowing two earned runs over five innings on six hits with four strikeouts. Blanchard is 0-1 in his past two starts after beginning the season with two wins in three outings.

The Cubs offense has scored at least four runs in each game of the series, including a 16-10 victory Tuesday. Miguel Useche homered and drove in two runs Saturday.

South Bend’s Brooks Caple, a player to watch, threw five shutout innings Saturday, scattering five hits with three strikeouts. Over his past three starts, Caple has allowed one earned run across 15 2/3 innings with 19 strikeouts.

Dayton’s lineup will look to support Blanchard after managing one run Saturday. Stephen Quigley and Drew Pestka combined for two scoreless innings of relief in the loss.

The Interstat game simulator projects a 6-5 South Bend victory.

South Bend continues its road trip Tuesday at Fort Wayne. Dayton visits Lansing on Tuesday.
