## Resource

South Bend Cubs’ playoff run ends in heartbreak after a 3-1 loss to Quad Cities, despite solid pitching from Nazier Mulé — baseball’s cruel twists once again deciding fate. Meanwhile, Iowa Cubs get crushed 9-1 by Toledo, with even rehab hero Justin Steele unable to spark a comeback. But not all news is bad — Knoxville Smokies soar past Birmingham 4-1, powered by Brody McCullough’s pitching and Alex Ramírez’s clutch two-RBI day, keeping their championship dreams alive as the season winds down.
