Bird Goes 5-for-6 Against Kane County
A jubilant Mike Bird joined the postgame press conference at Northwestern Medicine Field to offer some unusual words of encouragement -- for the Kane County Cougars pitching staff he had just vanquished.

"It may not have looked like it," said the South Bend Cubs shortstop, "but I saw some awful good pitches today. If luck hadn't been on my side it might have turned out a lot different."

That would not have been the conclusion of anyone who saw his dominant 5-for-6 hitting performance, which led to the 11-7 Cubs win.

"He made it look easy," said Brandon Nall, manager of the Cougars. "We never figured out what to do with him. Obviously."

Mike Bird hit a solo-shot off Joe Beck in the 1st, singled in the 3rd, singled in the 4th, singled in the 5th, singled in the 7th and grounded out in the 9th.

This season, Bird is swinging the bat at a .341 rate with 42 hits in 123 at-bats. To date he has hit 1 home run, scored 12 runs and driven in 12.
